Located in the Vista Flores district of Mendoza's Uco Valley, the estate features old-vine Malbec planted in 1950. This high-altitude vineyard, sitting at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level, benefits from intense sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, yielding grapes with exceptional concentration, structure, and aromatic complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates and undergo double sorting. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled oak vats and small concrete tanks. The wine is aged for 14 to 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrel, and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration to preserve its rich texture and depth.
