Speaker: Federico Benegas Lynch, Chief Winemaker & Proprietor, Bodega Benegas

 

Michel Rolland said “Benagas Wines have a strong personality which is result of a very unique terroir for its quality, and the combination of French and Argentine traditions. Benagas wines are a reflection of Federico Benegas Lynch passion and his constant search for excellence”.

 

The Benegas Lynch family has a long a tradition in the wine industry of Mendoza. They were founders of the Trapiche winery which attained international fame and prestige. Convinced that it was imperative to achieve excellence in their products, Benegas brought the first French grapevines ever introduced in Argentina, along with the most advanced technology available at the time.
Federico J. Benegas Lynch was born in the winery in 1951. He grew up sampling wines and working in the vineyard. This atmosphere awakened in him a deep love for his land and its’ wine. In 1998, Federico J.  purchased the old Benegas' family property, where the vineyards are 20 to 120 years old. He started the production of quality wines, fully convinced that he would achieve the level of excellence of his ancestors. This restoration period is the landmark of the beginning of a new era in the Benegas family, who had always devoted to the art of vines from the very roots.
