Bodega y Viñedos Clément
Per Aspera Ad Astra - Through hardships to the stars
We are a family business founded in 1999 by Carlos Clément, a renowned businessman from Mendoza, passionate about the main crop of his homeland.
After a successful career as a customs agent, in which he built one of the largest foreign trade companies in Cuyo, Clément embarked on the adventure of planting vines in one of the driest areas of Mendoza.
In 1999 the company acquired the estate where it would establish the first vines: Finca “La Cielito,” in the district of Santa Rosa.
Soon after that, new vineyards in Santa Rosa were planted, completing a total of 260 hectares under vine.
Two decades later, his daughter Lis, a wine marketing and communications specialist, joined the company to expand and strengthen the family business.
Coincidentally with her incorporation, the company takes its next great step forwards, acquiring a 10 million liter capacity winery, with the vision of producing innovative, high quality wines. Our commitment is to achieve excellence both in the vineyard and at the winery, all the while focusing on sustainability of the land and our community.

Winery
Centennial winery, icon of the area. It originally belonged to the Gómez brothers, the first promoters of the National Harvest Festival.
One of the main goals of Clément is to transfer the quality of its grapes to its wines, through avant-garde oenological processes.
Purchased in July 2021, we are currently setting up the facilities to meet the highest market demands, being our top priority to acquire high-quality oenological equipment.
With a total capacity of 10 million liters, we aim to produce 6 million liters in 2023.
