Winery | This Merlot was sourced from forgotten vines that are 60 years old. This rediscovered vineyard is situated along the Rio Negro's riverside in Allen, Rio Negro, Patagonia. Located at 39° latitude south, sunlight can be intense, but the nights are cool. These diurnal temperature swings encourage a longer ripening period and flavour concentration in the berries. The ungrafted vines are grown in sandy, clay loam soils, traditionally cultivated with a Vertical Shoot Positioning training system, and irrigated via flooding. |
