Heritage & Alchemy: The "High-Altitude Andean" Engineering
The High-Elevation Uco Matrix: Crafted entirely from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the high-altitude Valle de Uco, where intense UV sunlight and extreme diurnal temperature swings build thick grape skins, deep colour pigments, and high-performance natural acidity.
Cold Maceration Precision: Machine-harvested grapes are immediately chilled upon arrival at the winery, undergoing a 2-day pre-fermentation cold soak to gently extract vibrant primary fruit aromas and regional mineral complexity before alcohol production begins.
The Dual-Maturation Logic (60/40 Split): Engineered with meticulous ageing balance—40% of the wine ages for 3 months in new and used French oak barrels to build subtle vanilla creaminess and fine tannin structure, while 60% stays in stainless steel tanks to lock in pristine mountain freshness.
Sustainable & Vegan Credentials: Crafted with sustainable vineyard practices and 100% vegan-friendly winemaking, bottled under natural cork at a robust 14% ABV to deliver an authentic, high-integrity pour.
