A bold Argentine blend that dares to challenge tradition.
Antucura La Folie brings together five classic varietals in a refined expression of the high-altitude terroir of Vista Flores, Uco Valley.

Antucura La Folie Blend is one of the most distinctive wines produced in the Uco Valley. Its name, “La Folie” — French for “The Madness” — reflects the winery’s daring decision to craft a complex blend without relying on Argentina’s iconic grape, Malbec.

Instead, Antucura composes a sophisticated Bordeaux-inspired blend that highlights the harmony of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah.

Produced in the high-altitude vineyards of Vista Flores at 1,050 meters above sea level, the wine benefits from intense sunlight, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils that create freshness, structure, and remarkable balance.

The result is an elegant, expressive Argentine red blend recognized by international critics for its complexity and exceptional value.
