Vineyard
From careful grape selection to harvesting, meticulous pruning, winemaking to bottling, and everything that runs in between, we control every step of the wine production process. Our vineyards are located in Alto Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, which is set in the foothills of the great Andes Mountains, in Mendoza’s top region for producing fine wines. The vineyards expands over 72 hectares of old vines, at 1,050 mts above sea level, which are carefully tended to by our skilled staff of professionals. The result: balanced, complex, and exceptional artisanal wines, made with pride and care, and truly representing our beloved Mendoza terroir. Low vertical trellised vines and a minimum of 15-year-old of age were selected. We try to select vineyards with gravel alluvial deposit. Yields are limited to 10t/hectare.

Vinification
A variety of fermentation techniques are utilized :
-Cooler fermentation in order to retain more fruit flavors and minimize phenolic extraction, the grapes were short macerated.
-Warmer fermentation to give the minimum desired structure to the wine. Here we macerated for 30 days on skins.
