The Place:
Our vineyard is located in a tranquil spot in El Cepillo, Valle de Uco, with the snow-capped Andes in full view. The area is characterized by its calcareous soils, extreme temperatures, and erratic winds. In our ten hectares of vineyards, we pay close attention to the many subtleties and nuances of the terroir with the sole purpose of giving our wines their distinct and natural character.

farming & cellar:
The Process:
Our vineyard is (certified) organic and we work with biodynamic processes, respecting the original conditions of each wine and with minimal intervention. In the cellar, the wines continue their natural course; without corrections or manipulations. They age in used French oak barrels, amphoras, or ceramic spheres.
