Description
At almost 2000 metres above sea level, extreme conditions including minimal rainfall, very poor soils and strong daytime sunshine result in a powerful but elegant wine with black cherry, plum, spice and round tannins.
The estate's vineyards are located in Cafayate in the very heart of the Calchaquí Valley, distinguished for being the highest wine region in the world. The climate is very dry, with just 150 millimetres of rain in an average year and huge temperature fluctuations of around 20°C. The soils here are rocky, poor and sandy so the roots of the vines are forced to dig deep to find the vital nutrients and water they need, which results in fruit with hugely concentrated flavour.
