Mendoza: Our Terroir
Catena and the Mendoza wineries, Argentina, 2001
“Mendoza: Our Terroir is the best marketing tool we have ever produced. The pictures illustrate the beauty and significance of our Mendozan terroir better than any words could. We work with many designers, photographers and consultants. It is rare to find someone like Sara who not only gets the job done in a timely fashion, but who also becomes personally invested in the ultimate success of the project, involving herself in every detail, from start to finish.”
