The grapes come from Cruz de Piedra near Maipú and Altamira in the Valle de Uco; the sites are described as having sandy and alluvial soils containing gravel and limestone, respectively. The must ferments and macerates for at least 25 days in small concrete vessels, then the wine matures for 18 months in new French barriques. The 2021 bottling shows blackberry, cherry, violet, pepper, chocolate and mountain herbs. It is full-bodied, fresh and dense, with fine, grainy, polished tannins and a long finish. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation has not been documented; natural malolactic fermentation is stated.
