BODEGA DE LA COFRADÍA

BROTHERHOOD WINERY:

For the first time, now there is a winery in Mendoza that specializes in

designer wines

The concept is to offer oenologists, winemakers, and lovers and enthusiasts of

wine a framework that is totally dedicated to the aging and safekeeping of small

quantities of wine under the best, most scientific conditions, as well as offer the

spectrum of specific services that a true winemaker requires. Guaranteeing the

confidentiality in the processes, marketing management and product development,

we provide optimal techniques and sales support to create the best product

The concept is that the client feels like the “Owner” of an entire winery

structure that is intended for and devoted to providing solutions to the daily challenges

presented by the winemaking process.

Aging and storage are offered in four different forms:

:: Cement tanks with capacity for 3,500 liters, 6,000, 10,000; 15,000;

20,000; 30,000; 40,000; up to 50,000 liters, equipped with doors,

overhead lids, and stainless steel valves;

:: Stainless steel tanks of 2,500 to 15,000 liters;

:: Wooden barrels; and

:: Bottles with or without a label.

The winery has its own laboratory and a team of oenologists and agricultural

engineers to implement the proper aging and storage conditions. The humidity and

temperature are controlled according to the requirements of the different types

of juice.

Each user may take care of his own section with his own oenologist or have

confidence in the care offered by our own technical team.

Among the support services for each client, Bodega de la Cofradia has created

a TASTING AND CONFERENCE ROOM, and we will also have a MULTIMEDIA EVENTS

SALON, A SHOP FOR SALES OF DESIGNER WINES AND A SMALL RESTAURANT—and soon,

The Inn of the COFRADÍA, where we will enjoy a park, recreation areas, a swimming

pool and pavilion for informal meals and barbeques, good wine and unforgettable

Mendoza nights.

SERVICES

BODEGA DE LA COFRADÍA offers its partners the following technical

support services:

wine. It includes high-technology equipment for chromatographic analysis and a

sample base for each client, as well as a digital spectrophotometer.

Technical Team: You may choose to have your own oenologist and specify your

CAPACITY FOR AGING WINES

BODEGA DE LA COFRADÍA is especially devoted to implementing and

controlling wine aging and storage. The first stage of the project was completed in

December,2009 and since that time we have been adding new space and new

services.

Cement tanks:

From 3,500 to 50,000 liters. Each tank has been newly reconditioned, with

epoxy walls, lids, doors and stainless steel valves, which offer 100% security

for the storage of your wine

Stainless steel tanks:

On the first floor of the bodega there is a storage area specifically dedicated to

aging in stainless steel tanks. The tanks have various capacities from 5,000 to

15,000 liters, for fermentation, as well as for aging. The tanks and their fittings

meet the highest standards of quality and security, and each one is equipped

with pipes that allow for adjusting the temperature

Wooden barrels:

On the basement level of the Bodega there is a storage area for barrels,

especially air-conditioned, with controls of temperature and humidity, controlled

access for security, special lighting and a table for wine tastings. To avoid

problems with contamination by other users, we only allow use of new barrels.

Between the main storage area and additional spaces, we have room for 1,000

barrels.

Bottles:

This service offers the producer the comfort of storing bottles under the proper

temperature and light conditions. We have a special storage area with a

refrigerated chamber with temperature and humidity controls. The bottles will

be placed in metallic bins, with individual locks, stacked according to the

instructions of each client. We can store 450,000 bottles.

Security measures:

For your peace of mind we have installed several security measures, from the

traditional numbered sections to security cameras with constant monitoring and

remote access. We also have sensors that monitor temperature of the juice and a

system of periodic analyses in our own laboratories. All of these measures are

to offer you peace of mind in entrusting your wine to us. We will install an

external security system to allow each client to monitor his wine via Internet.

ARCHITECTURE

HISTORICAL REVIEW: The complex of the BODEGA DE LA COFRADÍA is an old

winery from 1914, with 3.5 hectares of land, an owner’s residence, garden and

swimming pool, all built in the style of that period, with the premise of quality and

duration through time. The bodega was designed with rectangular modules allowing

for additions as growth required, using materials that provide great thermal isolation

and underground chambers to maintain the wines at stable temperatures. The

winery’s ceilings are very high, with wooden and cane trusses.

Currently the winery building is optimally preserved overall, and due to the

small size of the fermentation and aging tanks, it is perfectly suited to a project for

reserve, premium and ultrapremium wines.

It has free space for stainless steel tanks, barrels and bottle aging in the cellar.

The operating capacity, without enlarging, is 4 million litters per year. The design and

versatility of the building, interior as well as exterior, are perfectly adapted to

applying new and modern technologies to the production of wines.

:: Multimedia Events Room:

In a room next to the Bodega, we will adapt a large space that previously served

for bottling, to create a multi-use room. There will be many ways to use space,

appropriate for presentations and events, trade fairs and wine industry conferences,

specialized tasting workshops, and training courses on topics related to the

challenges of making wine.

distributors for export.

Located in a park adjacent to the of the bodega, devoted to offering services to

winery clients and their own members will be a small, very private, inn. With eight

suites of varying capacities, the inn will be an attractive alternative to insure rest

and relaxation. The inn will be in a park with trees, places to rest and have a good

conversation, swimming pool, solarium, cocktail bar, exterior rest rooms and a

pavilion. This very private area will have housekeeping and breakfast service and
