How do you assess the development of viticulture in the east – have to talk about Central Valley, not in this area. We have reached an important diversification in vineyards, perhaps the largest in the country. It has managed several companies in the region have made progress in the modernization of interesting in their local form, allowing us to achieve very good standards. This begins with cultural practices in the vineyards where the integrated or independent producer has realized that it is not to produce quantity but also quality of the raw material from which is born a good wine. – Do you think there are really two kinds of vitiviniculturas – No, it is mainly a question of marketing very well used by companies of the Mendoza River to the west. It is also a consequence of the non-defense, appropriately, in our region of the Central Valley. The conditions of production of raw materials have different characteristics in that region to ours, which does not mean that theirs is better or worse than ours, it’s just different. And I hereby attest to what I am stating as we have documentary evidence that large enterprises of the first zone are supplied with our wines produced in Santa Rosa, with grapes from the region, our technicians and our warehouse to be sold by them with their brands. Even some of these companies that buy bulk wine we make shipments in bulk containers directly to France, which certifies that we have the raw materials, the ability of our people and disposing of companies that have made the redevelopment generate very good products which are accepted in all markets. – Generic wines have a future – Generic wines in our country have a significant demand, directly and by cutting. Every day we produce as much more red color. This requires greater volume of white wines and we can not ignore the massive demand with markets such as Russia and China, so they have a secure future in that aspect, they are also the same grapes that generate wort production to concentrate. – How do you imagine the area in the next ten years – I understand that winemaking in Argentina and the Central Valley has well marked horizons that we generate expectations of sustainable development. We can only verify this by reporting what happens in countries like Australia, South Africa, Europe and even our neighbors in Chile, where for reasons of climate, surface or other more profitable activities, are abandoning the wine part.
