The Elixir

Terroir, Varietals & the Magic of the Winemaker

We work on a perfect combination of Terroir, Varietals, Geographic Zones, technology and the Magic of the Winemaker. We combine the best grapes from Mendoza, Argentina, coming from varied areas optimal for the development of high-quality, high-altitude wines.

We apply advanced technology so the natural and delicate fruit is not damaged — a perfect conjunction of what the earth gives us and the skill of man in the search for constant improvement, making the most of the virtues of this great Mendocino Oasis.

Producers, Owners of the Matrix

The most important thing for making high-quality wines is to have good fruit. We are producers, owners of the matrix from which we produce and manage traceability. We have selected and genetically controlled vineyards in different geographical areas of Mendoza, where their DNA squeezes out the best of each terroir.

Valle de Uco, Luján de Cuyo, Maipú, Rivadavia offer the winemaker the possibility of selecting the best fruit — the land and the vineyards where our story began.
