“The 2011 Knight Frank Wealth Report (in connection with Citi Private Banking), a Global Perspective on Prime Property and Wealth” lists Argentina as the only country worldwide that saw vineyard prices rise by two digits (13%) between 2010 and 2011, while in comparison almost all markets around the globe have lost value, some substantially (Napa/Sonoma -25%).
FORBES Magazine presented the most convincing websites to buy wine online. “Argentina is present in all of them”. Academy of Wine Business Research said of the 10 most important states in the wine market. “94% of restaurants include Malbec in their wine lists”. “Last Tuesday April 17th was malbec World Day around the world—an event by any stretch of the imagination, which has to be the envy of non-malbec wine producers worldwide”. “UK passion for Argentine wines first quarter imports rocket 15% in volume”. “China, the market where Argentina grows the most. In the first three months of the year, Argentine wine exports destined to this Asian country showed an increase of 21.5% in volume and 45% in value.”

Tom and Yvonne gladly share their successes and mistakes in searching for and buying/building a vineyard so that you can dramatically shorten your learning curve regarding vineyard ownership allowing you to capitalize on their successes and avoid making their mistakes. Buying an individual vineyard in Argentina, whether directly from the Owner, a Realtor or 3rd Party Representative does not automatically guarantee "transparency" in the transaction. Mendoza Province has neither the typical Realtor Multi Listing Service (MLS) nor an Argentine Department Of Real Estate that oversees all real estate transactions. You need to know what rights, including existing Government allocated water each week and future well drilling are in the Deed/Survey. You need an Agronomists Report advising as to what type of grapevines are present, how many and what varietals, their condition, how many kilos can you anticipate, and what price will each kilo bring at market at harvest time. Not all vineyard developments are equal. For example, how can one vineyard development charge US$15,500 a year for the annual maintenance of a 5-Acre vineyard when another development only charges US$3,600 for the same 5-Acre vineyard? And how can one vineyard development charge you the vineyard owner a 10% brokering fee for buying your grapes and then demand that you pay an additional 10.5% IVA tax that is traditionally paid by the purchasing Winery? The Argentine Vineyards Buyer’s Guide is a 137 page Guide packed with information and written by Tom and Yvonne Phelan, two Americans who have lived in Argentina and built a successful 108 acre Boutique, 100% Turnkey vineyard development that includes the construction of an Estancia in 2012/2013 where Vineyard Owners can stay free when visiting. Their story began when Tom was a Guest Speaker at an International Living Conference in Buenos Aires in 2007. Tom and Yvonne invested three months in pursuing their dream of owning a vineyard. Once they discovered Mendoza Province and San Rafael they have been permanent residents ever since traveling between their Condo in Mendoza and their 108 acre where La Vida Buena Vineyards’ project.

THE TWO BIGGEST MISTAKES A VINEYARD OWNER CAN MAKE "I have been 100% involved with buying and building vineyards in Argentina for the past four years. When I talk to American, Canadian and European owners and prospective owners of vineyards in Argentina they commonly express two regrets and unfulfilled ‘wishes’ … Their 1st wish is that they can leave their vineyards each year for a few days, weeks or even months to travel or return home knowing while they are absent someone is there who really cares about, and is watching over their vineyard investment. I have heard sad stories ranging from a vineyard worker selling the grape harvest and pocketing the money while the owner was absent to a vineyard manager building a Church on the vineyard property because the American owner had been absent for several years. Their 2nd wish is that they have a nice place to stay on their vineyard (not a converted hovel of a worker’s house) when they visit thus eliminating having to build an expensive vineyard residence for a part time basis when they know it just didn't make economic sense. And, because there is no on site residence having to stay at a Hotel located miles from the property thus necessitating the rental of a car to drive to their vineyard. A common complaint I hear from disgruntled vineyard owners is: ‘Staying at an expensive onsite Hotel for US$300 a night or settling for a less expensive but far more inconvenient remote Hotel and having to rent a car at US$75 - US$100 per day to drive to my vineyard everyday is not what I had in mind when I purchased my vineyard.’ Unfortunately for many vineyard owners these two ‘wishes’ will never become realities.” Thomas Phelan Author Owner La Vida Buena Vineyards For more information on how to get started on your research and due diligence including a Plat Map with 5 Acre Malbec Pro-Forma, contact: tomphelany@yahoo.com All Boutique Vineyards include Professional Staff: Vineyard Manager, Agronomist, Winemaker and Argentine CPA.
