Our vineyards are located in 25 de mayo – san rafael at 850 mts on a hill favored by constant winds. We source the malbec for this line from two parcels. One is characterized by a soil profile of 90 cm of sand and clay that mix with round rocks and the other has a 30-40 cm sand-clay profile that leads to a layer characterized by round rocks, calcareous and some caliche. French rooted vines planted in 2003, conducted on a vsp and irrigated by drip irrigation. Debudding, leave thinning and cluster thining grant us an aimed yield of 60-70 qq per ha. and excelent maturity.
