The grapes are grown in Tupungato, which is situated at an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level. The area is characterized by its great diurnal temperature swings, which encourage aromatic expression and a great intensity of color in the wine. The vines are irrigated by a drip-water system that regulates and supplies the exact amount of water that the plant needs. Grown in soils that are predominantly alluvial and sandy, the vines undergo strict canopy management in order to reduce yields.
