Rare find wine from an exceptional terroir in Alto Valle, Rio Negro Patagonia Argentina at 462 metres above the sea. De-leafing and green picking is carried out in December. Manual harvest in small trays of 20 kg in order not to damage the grapes. The bunches are carefully monitored and only those achieving perfect maturity are selected. A second grape by grape selection is made on table before the start of temperature controlled vinification. Long maceration of 30 days. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
