The 'Parcelario' collection of wines captures the essence of the terroir with precision and
respect. They are made from single parcels, which reflect the place, landscape, and
the unique character of each vintage. A true expression of the land and time. The
grapes are grown in a high-altitude parcel in Gualtallary, in the outstanding vinegrowing area of the Uco Valley. Located at 1,350 metres above sea level, Gualtallary is
the highest vine-growing zone in the Province of Mendoza, situated at the foot of the
Tupungato Volcano. This site is characterised by its combination of altitude, a high
content of calcium carbonate in the soil, sunny days and low rainfall. The diurnal
temperature ranges here oscillate between 35°C and 17°C, creating long, slow
ripening periods, encouraging excellent polyphenolic maturity in the grapes, while
retaining refreshing balance. The vines are trained on trellises, which provides good
homogeneity, and the grapes are hand-harvested in boxes of 16kg.
