Awards & ratings Recent recognition 2022 vintage: 90 points, James Suckling About Finca Sophenia Founded in 1998 by Roberto Luka (a former president of Wines of Argentina), Finca Sophenia was one of the first wineries to plant vines in Gualtallary, then untouched land at about 1,200 metres in the northern Uco Valley, Mendoza. Today Gualtallary is one of Argentina’s most prestigious terroirs. The 130-hectare estate grows every grape it bottles on stony, calcareous soils with only 300 to 350 mm of rain a year and big swings between hot days and cold Andean nights. That gives fresh wines with natural acidity, firm tannins and a mineral edge. Since 2020 Sophenia has become the largest certified-organic estate in Gualtallary, and its wines are sold in more than 25 countries. The name blends Sophia and Eugenia. Eugenia Luka, the founder’s daughter, now leads the new generation alongside winemaker Joaquín Martín.
