Regional information

The grapes for this wine come from the upper Lujan (Agrelo, Urgeteche) lower valle de Uco, around 800 to 900 meters above sea level. Mendoza is in the rain shadow of the Andes mountains and the climate is semi desert with little rain which provides a good climate for disease-free grapes and minimal spraying.

Vinification details

The grapes are hand picked into 400kg bins early in the morning and transported to the winery where they are crushed and destemed into 10 ton fermenters. Selected yeasts are added and fermented for 10 days at 28°C. We remontage the fermenters 5 times a day for 10 minutes to keep the cap constantly moist and cool to avoid extracting aggressive tannins. The wine is then racked to remove solids and sent to tanks to undergo malolactic fermentation.
