Central Connecticut Wine-MWL presents the Wines of Susana Balbo and Crios: Argentina's top winemaker

Susana Balbo has had significant wine-making accomplishments in the first twenty years prior to establishing the Dominio del Plata Winery with her husband. She became known as the first winemaker hired as a consultant to make wine outside Argentina, in as many as seven different countries. It is said that Susana Balbo has worked with a wider variety of wines than any other winemaker in Argentina. In 2001, Susana had fully emerged into what was once a male dominated wine industry by result of her remarkable skills at winemaking and vast worldly viticultural experience.

Today, the wines produced under the Balbo name are offered in two levels. The more complex, elegantly structured and age worthy estate bottlings, that are sourced from the 52 acres that surround their Dominio del Plata Winery, which is situated within the Lujan de Cuyo part of the Mendoza region. The other offering provides a more affordable, well-balanced and expressively fruit forward group of wines under the “Crios” label. This selection was designed to represent Susana Balbo and her children. The word “Crios” literally translates as “off spring”.
