Casir dos Santos was born as a statement, a personal commitment, a pact: “We will produce the best wine possible and focus on every detail with the most passionate

dedication. To lead the way we have to see, understand, and do things which drive

and inspire us”. From each region the best grapes, in every step the best

technology available, all supported by a strong group of experts, highly committed

and greatly motived.

ABOUT US

Founded in 1862, Viña Maipú is one of the oldest wineries still operating today. With more that 100 years of history, the winery was selected to nurture our

project.

This is how Casir dos Santos was born. A winery which brings together a great

history and a team of people who continuously bring professionalism, creativity

and passion.

The winery was modernised, and equipped with “state of the art” technology, a

real example of science and technology placed at service of the most noble of

beverages to maintain its essence unpolluted.

UCO VALLEY (Valle de Uco)

It is the most important area in terms of style and quality of wines. Right at the

foot of the Andes (Pre-Cordillera), the Uco Valley has its own and very particular

microclimate, with a big temperature range, cooler weather and complexity in the

soils that result in very intense wines with their own personality and refinement.

Our land in Guatallary was planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 20 years ago. Its soil is

composed mainly of sand and rocks. The irrigation system uses melt water from the

Andes. The result are small grapes and low yields per hectare that lead to wines of

great concentration and mineral notes.

In San Carlos there is an old vineyard. They are 15 hectares of Malbec and Cabernet

Sauvignon, with 50 years old plants. This vineyards give high quality grapes. The

soils present a rocky middle stripe on it, that allows better drainage resulting on

high density of flavors.

The vineyard in Vistaflores is a dream. With its 20 years old, it is planted

exclusively with Malbec on soils with drainage that give a great mineral character

to wine.

Didier Debono was born in France on

1972. His love for making wine was

inculcated by his mother and

grandparents. With them, he spent

every summer working in the family’s vineyards in the Cognac region.

When the moment of choosing a career

came, the natural decision was

oenology, and he got his degree in

Bordeaux.

In France he worked in different

properties in Bordeaux like the well-

known “Vignobles Despagne”

and, as a technical manager in Saint

Emilion and Saint Estephe properties

owned by the d’Aulan family.

In 2002 he came to Argentina and

never left. In the same year he was

designated as main oenologist for

AltaVista where he still works as a

wine consultant. He also worked in

Chile as winemaker consultant for

Santa Rita among others.

In 2012 he joined the Casir dos

Santos team as main oenologist and

brought with him his unique style to

feed it into ur wines.

Didier’s great trajectory and

experience in the Old and the New

Continents are particularly reflected

through his special care and

dedication in our winery.
