Finca Santa Sofia is located in burgeoning grape and wine industry, in the very heart of Argentina's wine prime growing and producing region. The property totals 75 acres of prime wine producing soils with stunning views of the Andes mountains and a superb location to wineries and major highways.
Vineyard plantings consist of approximately 34 acres of popular grapes. These include Argentina's top wines Malbec, Bonarda, Torrontes and table wine grapes. The orchard consists of 18 acres of Plums, Peaches and Apricots.
Irrigation water is distributed to the orchards and vineyards by a canal system which provide a reliable and clean source of water for the agricultural region. This canal system is fed by the melting snow from the Andes which not only provides water but also cool mountain winds for cool nights and hot daytime temperatures. These daily temperature fluctuations provides for a far richer and more balanced grapes and thus a more robust and complex wine.

Finca Santa Sofia is located in Salto De las Rosas which is 2km from the road that buses take to Buenos Aires. The Roads in this area are paved and there are plenty of Bodegas (wineries) close by. Touristy San Rafael is only 20 kms from Finca Santa Sofia.
