- The vineyards cover 50 hectares in three selected sites within the premium growing region of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. This is a young and dynamic project in which Matias seeks to express the full potential of Argentine terroir.
The grapes were carefully sorted upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation took place in concrete eggs with wild yeasts at low temperatures, to retain the freshness and aromatics of the cool-climate fruit. The wine was aged for eight months in concrete
eggs.
A textured and full-flavoured blend with complex aromas of green apple, hay and citrus notes underpinned by remarkable minerality.

The Semillon grapes come from a low-yielding 50-year-old vineyard in La Consulta, where the vines grow at 1,000 metres elevation in sandy soils and produce rich, concentrated wines.
