The grapes were hand-picked at the cool of dawn in April when they had reached full polyphenolic maturity. The berries were manually selected and the best berries underwent cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation took place with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 26°C. The wine was aged in used French oak barrels ( 60% first passage, 40% second passage) for 12 months and then cellared in a bottle for a minimum of eight months before release
Intense aromas fill the glass, with deep red fruits and a remarkable presence of red bell pepper, fennel, mint, anise, eucalyptus, and basil. A structured, full-bodied wine, with rounded tannins which result in a pleasant and persistent finish.

Winery | The grapes are grown in Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley at 1,300 meters above sea level. At this altitude, the diurnal temperature difference between warm days and cool nights creates a long hang-time, concentrating the flavors in the berries, while retaining balancing acidity. The vines are irrigated by a drip-water system that regulates and supplies the exact amount of water that the plant needs. The vineyard soils are alluvial, sandy, and permeable. |
