Vineyard

% of Grape / Cépage:100% Cabernet Suavignon

Soil:Grapes come from a land located at the foothill in Mendoza, 980 meters above sea level. This place is considered one of the best and most privileged areas for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These lands are rugged and typical in the region, where the production of grapes is low but of a very high quality. The place is located in the department of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. This area belongs to the northern oasis of the Province of Mendoza and its land is irrigated by the waters of the Mendoza river, whose flow contains the water coming from the falls and thaws of the Andes mountain range.
