Winery | The Malbec comes from extremely old, low-yielding vines planted in 1927 and produces intensely concentrated fruit. The vineyard is located in Las Compuertas, Lujan de Cuyo, where the soils are made of loamy clay over alluvial. The Cabernet Franc grapes are grown on boulder soils in the mountainous vineyard of Los Chacayes, in the Uco Valley. The blend of these two regions and varieties produces a beautifully balanced wine: the intensely concentrated Malbec with the mountainous Cabernet Franc, which lends freshness from the cooler altitudes. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimum maturity into small 20kg cases to preserve the quality of the fruit. The vineyards are converted to organic status, no herbicides are used, and the vineyards are cultivated using ecologically friendly methods to respect the environment and the vineyard's biodiversity. |
