Philippe managed a company in the electric business of Mendoza for more than 4 years. They created CarinaE Viñedos y Bodega (CarinaE SA) in January of 2003. The company dedicates itself to produce high quality wines, with grapes that are produced in its own vineyards of low yields located in the traditional first zone of Mendoza.The wines are made in the winery they rebuilt at their property in Cruz de Piedra, Maipú.CarinaE has near 20ha of productive vineyards that are spread around its property at Tres Esquinas, Cruz de Piedra, Maipú (8 ha of 85 years vineyard of Malbec, 0,5 ha of Syrah, and 2 ha of Sabernet-Sauvignon), and on the famous Calle Cobos in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo (3ha and 4,5ha of 90 years old vineyards of Malbec). Near the Cruz de Piedra property, a little vineyard of 2ha was newly planted with syrah and malbec, and begun to produce syrah in 2011.This “Boutique” winery has a vat capacity of 260,000 liters. It has renewed concrete vats coated with epoxy paint and a cellar with 200 French barrels. CarinaE has the necessary technology to produce high-quality wines. « less

We were routed here by Hans Of Posada Cavieres & were taken around the installations by Augistina,even though we arrived at close to closing time. After that we had a tasting, bought some wine & met the owners, Brigitte & Philippe Subra a French couple who bought the winery in 2003. More

This winery is owned by a couple from Toulouse who took over and restored a winery that had been abandoned for 30 years. This tour was a real highlight. Andréa, our young guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that it made our visit very enjoyable. They have 126 hectares of Malbec, Syrah, Cab Sauv. They also get grapes from Salta... More

A fantastic small winery with a great story. We were taken around by the owner himself! Very interesting and a good contrast to some of the bigger wineries you may visit. Wines were very good too. More

Our hostess was very friendly, and taught us a lot about the winemaking process, answering all of our questions. She also showed us how to properly enjoy and examine wine. More

Truly enjoyed our tour of the winery, and the great story of the lovely owners. He speaks French and English very well. She speaks French and Spanish very well. I think one of them may speak German, too. Enjoyed the intimate atmosphere and the great conversations during the 'family style' tasting with other travelers. More

We took a cab from Sheraton Mendoza and it took roughly 40 minutes and $15 USD. Decent tour and very cool because it is a very small volume winery where the labels are put on by hand. You can watch! The wine tasting was a bit expensive in my opinion at 20 pesos each ($5 USD) in that you then... More

There are some very large wine producers in Maipu, Lujan de Cuyo, and the Valle de Uco. Carinae is the opposite: they are very small, and their wines are hard (though not impossible) to find in the United States. They thus make a good contrast to a tour at one of the big producers like O. Fournier, Salentein, or Norton.... More

We stumbled across this place based on one of the local tourist maps. It's along the major vineyards route so easy to add to an overall day of touring. We had been at some larger wineries and liked the intimate feel of this place. The wine tasting was so good that we were convinced to buy our most expensive bottle... More
