50% of the grapes comes from the Uco Valley, on a majority of calcareous soils and 50% comes from Luján de Cuyo on loam clay soils. These vineyards are located between 950 and 1.400 masl. In our vineyards, we do not use any herbicide or systemic products, managing them in an agro-ecological way.

Hand harvested in small 20 kg cases, in order to keep the integrity of each cluster. A meticulous handmade selection is performed prior vinification.

We vinify a 20% with whole cluster and the rest is destemmed. The grapes head up in a natural way by gravity to small concrete vats, where the fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts at temperatures between 24º and 26ºC. Then we make a very gentle work to sink the hat and achieve a slow extraction. The aging continues in small concrete vats until next harvest.

Malbec is the Argentinian most emblematic grape and we attempt Hey Malbec! to be its truly great interpretation.
