Ikal 1150, a Wine From Argentina, Tangos Into California

Ikal 1150, a winery out

of Argentina, first made a splash in the Texas market in 2009. Since then it has

been full speed ahead. This August, husband and wife team Jerry Ward and Sandra

Beltran, owners of the winery, are hitting the west coast to showcase their wine

to local Californians. With a limited production, a tailor made label and a

poetic name, it’s sure to have a flourishing debut.

Everything about this wine is hand crafted to reflect a lifestyle. The name is a

reflection of “poetry in a bottle”: “Ikal,” meaning poetry in a local native

language and “eleven fifty” (1150) showcasing the vineyard’s elevation in

meters. The label is elegantly designed by matching the vineyard’s soil, a

glacial mix of rock and stone, to the color of each wine.

While in California, their main focus is to introduce the wine to local

restaurants, wine bars, and upscale venues.  “We’ve put a lot of love and

passion behind our wine and we want to share it with the people of

California,”said Sandra Beltran, VP of Sales and vineyard owner. “It is a

couture wine that we are sure Californians will appreciate.”

Ikal 1150 grows at high elevation, free of insects and mold, without pesticides

and other chemicals. The vines quench their thirst on snowmelt water from the

Andes Mountains, whose foothills are less than a mile from the vineyard.  The

old-world style and rustic elegance of these wines will pair well with the fresh

local farm grown produce used in most California restaurants.

A series of wine dinners and tastings are scheduled from Los Angeles moving

south to San Diego. “We encourage everyone to follow us through facebook and

come join us where ever possible,” said Jerry Ward, in charge of operations and

vineyard owner.  Originally born in Huntington Beach, Jerry is very excited to

return.   The couple hand sell the wine wherever they go.They love getting to

know the people, sharing their stories and adventures.   For more information on

About Ikal 1150 Wines:

The Ikal 1150 vineyard is located in the foothills of Mendoza, Argentina. The

winery produces five distinctive varietals: Malbec, Cabernet, Pinot Noir,

Chardonnay and Torrontes.  Only 300 cases of each are produced with the

exception of their signature Malbec, where 600 cases are produced.   The grapes

are grown in sandy, rocky soil bathed with lots of sunshine by day and bright

stars and cool dry air at night. The challenging soil conditions and temperature

variance make the vines struggle and the fruit ripen slowly, giving the wines

their signature body and distinct flavor, which wine drinkers describe as

“poetry in a bottle,” partly due to the name and partly due to the unique taste.

The wines won the San Diego Critics Choice Award in 2008 and medals at the

Houston Rodeo “Bits and Bites” competition in 2009 and again in 2010.

About the Creators:

The Ikal 1150 winery was built by the same team that developed the distinguished

small luxury hotels Ikal del Mar (now the Tides Rivera Maya) and Esencia in

Mexico’s Riviera Maya.  There are future plans to build a twelve-room luxury

hotel and residences on the vineyard where owners may source their allocation of

grapes from the estate, creating their own handcrafted wine.

The winery and residences represent an expansion of the company’s reach into

other products designed for consumers who appreciate the finer things in life.

The wines are imported to the U.S. by Frutizia Wine Group, LLC.
