About Me: To conquer part of the patagonic desert and convert it into a new grape-producing region was a
challenge wich started in 1996. The lands that were chosen for this project are located in
San Patricio del Chañar, province of Neuquén, and at that time they were considered marginal
as they didn't have acces to the irrigation zone of Neuquén River. As a first step, il was
necessary to make big effort and built a proper channel of 20 Km long to provide the necessary
water for the growing of grapes. Finally, in 1999 the firs vineyards were planted. Strong
winds forced the engineers to protect the vineyards with windbreak screens and each plant with
individual shells. The excellent outcomes of these first plantations constitued the initial
step of Bodega del Fin del Mondo and of the whole vine growing region that would develop in San
Patricio del Chañar.
