Our Story
Located in the renowned wine region of Mendoza, Argentina, Casa Luas Vineyards stands as a tribute to the Strohmeier family's devotion and lineage. Luis Strohmeier, inspired by his deep-seated love for wine, founded this vineyard, drawing from memories of his Peruvian upbringing.
His mother, Adriana, a distinguished agronomist from the eminent National Agrarian University in Peru, was Luis's initial muse. She often spoke of vines as nature's indomitable spirits, instilling in him a reverence for the natural world.
When the allure of Mendoza's fertile lands beckoned in 2016, Luis embraced the call, weaving his familial past into a new narrative. The vineyard's signature offering, "4A's", encapsulates this legacy, honoring his children Alicia, Alex, and Andrew, and the ever-influential Adriana.
The launch of Casa Luas Vineyards was never an intention to create a business, it was created to enjoy life. Wine is a way of getting a direct gift from Pachamama (Mother Earth). When Pachamama is treated with gratitude and nurtured, she gives back to you with immense love.
We hope our wine will bring people together and spark a conversation.
Our Vineyard
Nestled in the Valle de Uco within the renowned Mendoza region of Argentina, our vineyard thrives in an area celebrated for its optimal Malbec cultivation. In collaboration with The Vines of Mendoza Private Vineyards, we have the privilege of working closely with the esteemed consulting winemaker, Santiago Achaval, and his team of experts to craft our bespoke, small-batch wines.
A graduate in Viticulture from the University of California, Davis, Santiago Achaval honed his skills during the 1997 harvest under the guidance of Michael Weis at Growth Vineyards and Winery in Napa Valley.
Upon aligning with the Vines of Mendoza Wine Estates, Santiago's primary mission has been to elevate the caliber of our wines. His intricate attention to detail in the vineyards has led to significant advancements, including clonal selections, crop thinning, and the implementation of deficit irrigation.
