The reasons for their success however are perfectly clear. By sourcing fruit only in Argentina’s premium vine-growing region, or “First Zone” where the old vines growing in some of the most difficult terroir in the World produce amazing quality, La Chamiza have the perfect start to their wine.

All of La Chamiza’s wines are inextricably linked to the age-old Argentine sport of Polo by their history, their name (La Chamiza is a type of Polo Pony breed) and the winery are 100% committed to the game. The La Chamiza team flies the flag for the sport and their wine all over the world with their own polo team
