VINEYARDS
From our Los Carolinos estate (1927), located in Agrelo (Mendoza River’s High Valley), Luján de Cuyo district, province of Mendoza. Alluvial, silty-loam and shallow soil. Traditional low trellis vineyards. High cultivation density; low yield vines that, associated with the varietal purity, allow for high quality grapes. Hand harvested grapes.

CLIMATE
This privileged area has a particular microclimate of dry summers, warm and sunny days and cold nights. Grape development is favored by the wide thermal range, making them reach high concentration of aromas and excellent health.

WINEMAKING
After obtaining the musts by pneumatic press, the pellicular maceration takes place at low temperature (8 °C for 24 hours) in stainless steel tanks, in order to achieve a higher concentration of aromas and flavors characteristic of the variety. Later, the musts, drained by gravity without external pressure, full in aromas, released from the skins, ferment in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (15 °C). Once the fermentation is finished, the wine is clarified, stabilized at temperatures of 2 °C below zero and filtered. e conservation is carried out in stainless steel tanks.
