The vines stand in Alto Gualtallary at around 1,200 metres above sea level on poor, well-drained sandy and gravelly soils; a current Argentine product description also mentions a calcareous layer beneath 70 to 100 centimetres of sand. The grapes are hand-harvested, cold-macerated for 72 hours and fermented with indigenous yeasts at no more than 27 °C. After around 20 days of maceration, the wine matures for ten months in used French oak barrels. It shows black fruit and spices, juicy fruit, supportive tannin and medium to full body.
