About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from a parcel in Gualtallary, Tupungato, in Mendoza’s Valle de Uco. The vines average 20 years of age and grow at 1,150 metres on alluvial soils. The site combines high altitude with a cool, sunny setting.

Grapes

100% Grenache.

Vinification

The grapes are picked by hand, the bunches selected and the fruit destemmed. A 5-day cold pre-fermentation maceration is conducted at 6°C, followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is gently filtered before bottling.

Ageing

No wood ageing.
