Vineyard and terroir
The 2025 blend comes from vineyards in Gualtallary, Tupungato. The vines average 25 years of age and grow at an average elevation of 1,050 metres.
Grapes
Latest published vintage (2025): 50% Chardonnay, 35% Semillón and 15% Sauvignon Blanc.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually and the bunches selected before whole-bunch pressing at less than one bar. The must settles for 24 hours at 8°C. All three varieties ferment for ten days at a controlled 14–16°C. Semillón and Sauvignon Blanc ferment in stainless-steel tanks, while Chardonnay ferments in French oak barrels and undergoes partial malolactic fermentation. After ageing, the components are blended, gently filtered and bottled.
Ageing
Semillón and Sauvignon Blanc remain in stainless steel for eight months. Chardonnay spends eight months in French oak barrels with suspended fine lees, contributing additional smoothness.
Technical data
2025 vintage: 13.90% alcohol, total acidity 6.9, pH 3.2 and residual sugar 1.7 g/l. Ageing potential is eight years.
Tasting profile

Serving and pairing
Serve between 8°C and 12°C.
