Vineyard & Terroir
High-Altitude Excellence Across Three Distinct Sites
-
Gualtallary (Sauvignon Blanc) – Grown at 1,400m in calcareous soils. Produces fresh, aromatic fruit.
-
La Consulta (Semillon) – 50-year-old vines planted at 1,000m in sandy soils. Low yields deliver depth and intensity.
-
La Carrera (Chardonnay) – The highest vineyard at 1,700m with gravelly, sandy soils. Adds minerality and elegance.
Winemaking Philosophy
The hand-harvested grapes were gently sorted and fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled concrete eggs to retain the vibrant aromatics and freshness. The wine was then matured for eight months in concrete eggs, enhancing its texture while preserving a natural purity and energy.
