Vineyards

The grapes used come from our vineyard situated in Tupungato, Mendoza at over 1300 m.a.s.l. This region is characterised by it's wide temperature ranges allowing for the production of grapes with very intense colours and flavours. Ideal to elaborate naturally concentrated wines which are suitable for ageing.

Our vineyards are equipped with a drip-irrigation system that allows us to adjust and supply the exact amount of water that plants require. Canopy management is performed in order to obtain a yield of less than 10.000 kg per hectare. Clusters generally carry small-sized berries, and have adequate exposure to the sun in order to preserve the aromatic characteristics.

Chief enologist: Manuel Gonzalez.

Harvest: Berries selected on the plant then harvested by hand early in the day and collected in bins.

Vinification: Meticulous cluster selection. Whole clusters are then taken to the pneumatic press. The temperature of the must is reduced to 7°C.
