Live From the Vines: El Porvenir
Hosted by Amanda Barnes & Lucía Romero Marcuzzi
South American wine expert Amanda Barnes finds herself in Salta’s Cafayate Valley in Argentina.
Here she meets Lucía Romero Marcuzzi, manging director of the family owned El Porvenir which is increasingly namechecked as a source of top-flight Argentinian wine and whose sun-drenched vineyards are planted at 1650-1900m.
Romero Marcuzzi discusses El Porvenir’s journey which began with a rundown winery and similarly weary parcels of old-vine Tannat and Torrontés.
These two Argentinian staples remain at the heart of El Porvenir today, and both feature in a line-up of wines available to digital members a tasting kit and which reaches a crescendo with the appropriately titled, El Porvenir Icon.
