The Malbec, which comes from El Cepillo and Guatallary, in the Uco Valley, and from Perdriel, their own estate in Luján de Cuyo. It has a careful and dedicated winemaking process, double selection of clusters, cold maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. It is aged in first use French oak barrels and has a 6 months ageing in bottle.
