INFO: The winery is located in the highlands of Mendoza, in a region known as the Uco Valley.

With crops at 1,100 metres above sea level, its high altitude and unique terroir of stony soils, natural irrigation of mineralised meltwater from the great Andes mountains and a climate of intensely hot summers and snowy winters all combines together to produce grapes and wines of intense flavour and elegance. It really is like no other place on earth and the wines produced from there are equally as unique.

 The wines  were then aged for 10 months in second use French Oak barrels  before being left to mature for a further 4 months in bottle.

An elegant and complex nose revealing red fruits such as raspberries and cherries, and spices reminiscent of black pepper.
 A velvety palate with integrated tannins suggesting dark chocolate and plums, leading to long finish with good structure.
