The winery was founded in 1868 by brothers Santiago and Narciso Goyenechea,

Basque immigrants who, once settled in the city of Buenos

Aires, started their business as wine and liquor merchants. At the beginning

of the century, the Company acquired lands and a warehouse in

Villa Atuel (1200 has), in the department of San Rafael, in the south of

the province of Mendoza, where the winery was established. In Buenos

Aires, remains the central administration which includes Sales department

and warehouse. Today, almost 150 years later, the Company is

being run by the family’s Forth and Fifth Generation members who

keep on working with the same energy and enthusiasm in achieving the

highest standards of excellence in winc production. Today Goyenechea

is one of the oldest established, independent, family-owned wineries in

Argentina.
