We know great wines are produced in unique places and that is why our plantations are based on the best terroirs of Mendoza and Salta: 209 hectares divided into five vineyards, all of which are one thousand meters above sea level. Each of them receives a specific treatment, and we call this Terroir Management.
Alizarine Vineyard
Las Compuertas, in Luján de Cuyo, is one of our most valued plantations, because of its privileged location in the mouth of the Mendoza River, from the mountain to the plain. 1050 meters above sea level, it provides the perfect temperature range, humidity, luminosity and silt clay loam soils. 14 hectares are planted with 80-year-old Malbec grapes.
Serenade Vineyard
Alto Agrelo, in Luján de Cuyo, is a deserted area with a wide temperature range. 1050 meters above sea level, we have 74 hectares of vineyards with up to 40-year-old plants, cultivated in very poor clay-loamy soil, which hide a 4-metre deep bed of stones.
Azamor Vineyard
Las Compuertas, in Luján de Cuyo, is our recent acquisition. It was bought in September 2007 and it has 9 hectares, 1062 meters above sea level. The area is excellent to cultivate Malbec grapes because of its luminosity, wide temperature range and poor soils.
Temis Vineyard
El Cepillo, in Valle de Uco, shelters our most southern and extreme vineyard. Not for its height – 1020 meters above sea level – but because it has the coldest climate in Mendoza for vine cultivation, and sandy loam soil with an 80-cm deep layer of caliche, a sandy substance. Here, the conditions of Campo de los Andes are reproduced, but it is even more exposed. We have 19 hectares planted with 70-year-old Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo grapes.
Albaneve Vineyard
Campo de los Andes, in Valle de Uco, is one of the coldest and highest areas in Mendoza to cultivate vine. The secret is its location at the foot of Cordón del Portillo, with 5000-metre tops; such condition produces a wide temperature range between day and night, and a shadow cone in the late-afternoon protects the area from the intensity of the sun. We have 132 hectares of which 92 are planted with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay grapes.
Cafayate Vineyard
Valles Calchaquíes, in Salta, with 1220 wild hectares, from 2000 to 2300 meters above sea level. It is one of the most fascinating valleys of the Argentinean wine. It stands out from all the rest because of its height, Andean desert and tropical location. The region is the key in the production of great torrontés grapes.
