Los Cowboys - Fair Trade Wine

Los Cowboys Torrontes

 

Mendoza, Argentina

Fair Trade Certified™ - Fair Trade Wine

Los Cowboys is a true representation of its culture.  Strong, honest and proud, they seek to preserve the quality of life through Fair Trade.

Los Cowboys is sourced from three framing communities of Lavalle, San Martin, and Medrano in the Mendoza region of Argentina.  The small family farmers of Argentina are increasingly susceptible to the low market prices of their  grapes as the world demand increases.  The prices they receive for their grapes do not generate enough income to meet the basic needs of the family.  As a result, their opportunity to invest in improving their farms and vineyards are threatened and are at risk of having to sell the property.

As with many farming communities in the global south, there is little to no funding available for school improvements.  The schools currently do not have enough funding for new playgrounds.  Double up Fair Trade is the commitment to construct nine playgrounds at the local schools within the farming communities.

With every glass of Los Cowboys you can directly help the grower, their community and the environment.
