Producer Spotlight: Susana Balbo
You have to wonder what Argentina’s wine world would be without the ever dynamic Susana Balbo. She was Argentina’s first female winemaker after receiving a degree in enology in 1981 and working for a range of companies not only in Argentina but also in France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Australia and California.
Today, she is devoted to her own Mendoza winery called Dominio del Plata, which is state-of-the-art and also includes a popular small restaurant. Susana works with her daughter and son. Their wines across the board are outstanding quality, and anyone interested in great Argentine reds should try one. And here is the good news, these wines will be available to taste in the upcoming Great Wines of the Andes USA 2017 in September.
