“This is wine to seek out and treasure – get in there and grab this bargain. It’s a big, glossy, fleshy, rich and fruity wine with a dash of spice and fragrant aromas. Brilliant balance and a bit of a riddle – bold yet elegant.”
Olly Smith,2007

The Vineyard:
The vineyard is located at Alto Valle Calchaqu which is 1700-2500 meters above sea level. The yield is around 7 tons per hectare. Drip irrigation is used and the grapes are hand harvested. The winemaking process involves a slow alcoholic fermentation at a low temperature, using selected yeasts. Maceration lasted 18 to 20 days. 75% of the juice underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 25% fermented in French oak barrels. Once the fermentation process was completed, 30% of the wine was aged in French oak barrels. It was clarified by means of egg white obtained from our biodynamic farm. There is a limited production of 330.000 bottles.
