Head Winemaker 80 % Malbec (Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo) 20 % Cabernet Sauvignon (El Cepillo, Valle de Uco) Alcohol Sugar PH Acidity A manual harvest is carried out small in 17-kilo boxes. Clusters are carefully set on a double selection table, where only the best berries are chosen. After destemming, grapes are carried in small stainless steel tanks with elevator to 52-hectoliter cement tanks. A pre-fermentation maceration is done for 3 days at 5ºC.
