Collection: Mi Terruño

↓ Jump to the wines

Mi Terruño is a family-owned winery based in San Roque, Maipú, in the heart of Mendoza, Argentina. Although the winery itself was established in 2004, the Baigorria family has been involved in viticulture since 1960, when they purchased their first vineyards. Today, the business is run by siblings María Eugenia Baigorria, the chief winemaker, and Gabriel Baigorria, who oversees the commercial side of the winery. The name Mi Terruño – meaning "My Terroir" – reflects the family's commitment to producing wines that express the character of Mendoza's diverse vineyard sites.

Rather than relying on a single estate, Mi Terruño sources fruit from several of Mendoza's most prestigious growing regions, including Maipú, Luján de Cuyo, Santa Rosa and the Uco Valley. These vineyards range from 450 to 1,200 metres above sea level, benefiting from a dry continental climate, abundant sunshine, low annual rainfall and significant day-to-night temperature variation. Irrigation comes from snowmelt flowing from the Andes, while the alluvial, sandy and limestone-rich soils naturally limit vine vigour and help produce grapes with excellent concentration, freshness and balance.

The Wine

The winery itself occupies a distinctive building that was originally a glass tile factory, later converted into a modern winery. One of its most unusual features is that much of the interior remains clad in glasiris (glass tiles), an uncommon design choice in Argentina that provides exceptional hygiene while also helping to regulate cellar conditions. Traditional winemaking techniques are combined with modern equipment, and all grapes are hand-harvested before undergoing a second manual selection to ensure only the highest-quality fruit is used.

Mi Terruño has built its reputation on producing wines that balance ripe New World fruit with freshness, precision and a clear sense of place. While Malbec remains the flagship variety, the winery also excels with Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Cabernet Franc, Torrontés, Chardonnay and traditional-method sparkling wines. Today, Mi Terruño exports to more than 30 countries, showcasing the diversity and quality of modern Mendoza winemaking on the international stage.
