Winemaking: Fermentation in concrete tanks with native yeasts. Maceration with délestage and pumping over, followed by de-stemming and pressing in vertical basket presses. This is followed by 12 months' ageing in second- and third-use 500L French oak barrels.

Region: This large subregion sits in the northwest corner of Tunuyán, in the centre of the Uco Valley. The soils here are alluvial with large rounded stones, gravel and sandy loam. Vineyards enjoy a range of different slopes and levels of solar exposure here which supports some interesting single-vineyard expressions. Malbec is the standout in this area but Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc also perform well. All red varietals exhibit a distinctive floral aroma.
