New Geographical Indication for Wines
The new GI is the third to be recognized in the Province of Chubut.
On September 11, 2023, the National Viticulture Institute published Resolution No. 25/2023 in the Official Gazette, adding another Geographical Indication (GI) to the list of recognized GIs in Argentina.
On this occasion, the company Patagonian Wines SA requested that the name “EL HOYO”—from the Cushamen Department in the Province of Chubut—be recognized, protected, and registered as a GI of Argentina. The application did not receive oppositions from third parties and all legal requirements for its recognition were met.
The new GI is made up of terroirs with distinctive qualities to produce quality wines, in accordance with Law No. 25163, whose regulatory framework regulates the designation and presentation of wines and spirits of wine origin in Argentina.
