Driving over the Andes from Chile, he fell in love with the place and the people, but also with its potential to make great wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe began experimenting with wild fermented Chardonnay and then with the variety that would become Argentina’s calling card – Malbec; his first 10-barrel vintage of Malbec persuaded the American press of the potential of this grape. Paul established his own winery, Viña Cobos, in 1999 and over 20 years later, continues to make wines that are authentic expressions of the terroir they come from. In his exploration of the different terroirs across Mendoza, Paul looks to the most distinguished regions of Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco to produce wines that uniquely express their origins. The winery’s elegant and balanced wines are a result of meticulous vineyard farming and utmost respect for terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"title\"\u003eViticulture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyards are in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo, at an altitude between 2,780 - 4,800 ft.
