More altitude = more elegance
The grapes used for producing this wine were extracted from vineyards located in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, at 1.300 mts. above sea level. This area has a wide thermal amplitude, producing grapes with a great intensity in color, an important aromatic
expression and great natural acidity. These vineyards have an irrigation management through drip system that provides the exact amount of water needed by the plant.
This wine has an intense purple colour. On the nose shows some floral notes, such as violets, with some fruity expression like red plum and strawberry. In the mouth is fresh, smooth and very balanced.
For a young wine, matured in French oak for a period of 3 months and then aged in bottle for another 3 months, it shows an incredible balance thanks to the methods used to grow the vines, taking special care to the exposure of the plant to the sun, preserving the aromatic characteristics of the grapes as a result.
Alcohol: 13.5% Vol.
Conservation: the bottle should be stored in a dark room without vibrations and at a stable temperature preferably between 6° to 12ºC.
Pairing and Consumption: It is especially recommended to accompany red meats like grilled lamb.

Valle del Maule – Maule Valley
The Uco Valley is widely considered one of the top wine regions in Mendoza, and all of Argentina. The annual average temperature is 14 °C (57 °F) and altitudes range from 900–1,500 metres above sea level, having some vines cultivated even in the highest altitude.
The combination of high elevation, alluvial soils, natural irrigation sourced from the Andes Mountains, a long growing season, over 250 sunny days a year, little rain and vast temperature differences between day and night are all conducive to growing quality wine grapes in this region. These climate and geography elements come together to provide excellent fruit ripening and concentration, developing colors, aromas, flavors and textures resulting in wines that are deep in color, intense in aromas and rich in flavors.
Traditionally, the varietals grown in this area are Sémillon and Malbec; together with Bonarda and Barbera in a smaller amount. Currently new varieties as Torrontés are growing very well in this area.
Since the discovery in the 1990s of the correlation between altitude and elegance in wine, new wineries have mushroomed in the Uco Valley. For this reason, Uco Valley is becoming increasingly popular as a wine playground for both Mendoza residents and visitors from overseas.
