Vineyard located in Lujan de Cuyoat an altitude of 1020 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.) at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. This altitude of 1020 m.a.s.l. gives a perfect balance between high temperatures during the day (improving the maturity of the grapes) and low temperatures at night (giving great acidity to the grapes).
Old vines of approx. 30 years old, allow producing grapes with a low yield that guarantees high concentration of aromas, flavors, and color. The vineyard has Alluvial soil, clay and sandy loams over gravel subsoil. Drip irrigation system using water from the melting snow of the Andes Mountains.
