This wine is a Malbec made from 30-year-old vines planted on limestone soil and a second terrace. Cultivated organically, the vines benefit from a density of 4,500 vines per hectare and controlled yields of 50 hl/ha. The harvest is partially done by hand. Vinification is characterized by early harvesting and short maceration, thus avoiding excessive extraction. Aged for six months in stainless steel and concrete tanks, this wine contains no added sulfites.
