is inspired by and named after Argentina’s own dog breed, the Dogo Argentino.

Our mission is to explore and showcase the diversity of Argentine viticulture, from the high-altitude vineyards in the north to the southern reaches of Patagonia. Argentina is a vast wine-producing country, and each region and terroir brings its own character and identity to the wines.

Our vision is to become the leading specialists in Argentine wine in Norway.

With cultural insight and a commitment to the Argentine wineries we represent, we aim to bring the quality Argentina has to offer to the Norwegian market at competitive prices. On a personal level, we also feel a responsibility to contribute to value creation and employment in a country that has faced recurring economic challenges. Last but not least, we want to share something of the laid-back and inclusive culture that makes Argentina so special.

We believe the best way to showcase Argentine winemaking is through a combination of established wineries and newer producers. This allows us to respect history and tradition while embracing innovation and new approaches to winemaking.

Established in 2021, DOGO WINES is a boutique importer. We share the entrepreneurial mindset of the wineries we work with and understand the importance of building a presence and a reputation over time. We believe in great wine and long-term relationships, and we take pride in being a trusted partner for our producers in Norway.

Our first wines became available through Vinmonopolet in March 2022. Six months later, we won our first tender. Since then, we have won two more, bringing our total to three successful tenders since the company was established.

While we are now taking our first steps into other wine countries, Argentina will always remain the backbone of DOGO WINES. It is where our story began, and it will continue to define who we are and what we stand for.

France is a natural first step beyond Argentina. Several grape varieties that have helped shape Argentina’s wine identity have their roots in France, and with more than two years of experience working for a French company, this connection feels particularly natural. Expanding our portfolio is a way to build on what we have established, not move away from it.

And the name? Well, let’s just say that one of us had to put up with being nicknamed “DOGO” for a while, which eventually inspired the name of the company.
