Grape varieties: Malbec
Origin: Gualtallary, Tupungato, Gualtallary, Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, Argentina

The vines grow at around 1.200 metres in Gualtallary, on a 70 to 100 centimetre-deep sandy soil over a calcareous subsoil. The grapes are hand-harvested at the end of March, cold-soaked for 72 hours and fermented with indigenous yeasts at a maximum of 27 °C; the skin contact lasts 20 days. The wine then matures for ten months in used French oak barrels. It shows ripe red fruit and violets, with a fruit-driven, intense character, lively acidity and a persistent finish.
