My Dream...




The first time I have ever visited Tempus Alba I thought: this is how my dream winery should be, if I ever could get to own one: it was (is) in the right place, with the proper surrounding and the best human approach.
And, of course, wines were a result of all of it. I clearly remember being in their terrace exposing my unreachable project of exporting wines of wineries from Argentina to some contacts around the world I had thanks to my living and travelling for some years as market manager of a German company, living in Italy and Spain, and enjoying visiting countries for both business and pleasure in different continents. Looking back at it, I was just explaining to them what I would like to do, without the minimum evidence of what I was able to do. They listened to me.

After some more time than a couple of years from that visit, I do make business with Tempus Alba people. We have a tight relationship that besides of making me admiring them as group, as a family team, makes me understand a secret: making a good wine has lots of topics, such as master-managing the vineyards, carefully selecting grapes, elaborating wines in every step with passion and consciousness, and protecting their image in the aggressive overpopulated markets around the world. Making an excellent, personality driven wine is all of them with the addition of excellent people. That is Tempus Alba.
Nowadays I change my dream of having some day a winery like Tempus Alba for the reality of knowing them and being a tiny, small part of their world.
