Boasting impressive altitudes that range between 5,200 and 6,500 feet above sea level, the Calchaquí Valleys constitute one of the highest terroirs in the world. The dry, sunny climate is responsible for the grapes' impressive flavor. The broad temperature ranges in the area are also key to the production of high-quality wines that convey the Valleys' unique personality through their color, aromas and flavors.

Production

Vinification Process: Cold maceration for 48 hours at 5°C, and then fermentation with selected yeasts at a controlled-temperature between 24° and 26°C, for 10 days. During this process, two daily remontages and one delestage took place in order to have an even colour and structure. Total maceration for 3 weeks with a period of malolactic fermentation
