Vineyard & winemaking
Manual harvest in 18–20 kg bins from a vineyard in Vista Flores, Tunuyán, Uco Valley, Mendoza, at 1,110 m.a.s.l. On arrival at the winery the grapes undergo manual selection on a sorting belt, removing leaves, stems and any fruit not in perfect condition, followed by destemming and crushing. Fermentation takes place in 50–70 HL tanks at a controlled 25–27 °C using selected yeasts, and the wine ages 10 to 12 months in French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels.
