Wine Interest &
Activities
Winery:
The building of our winery commenced in October 2002 under the
supervision of a team that included engineers, architects and
enologists (specialists in wine making). The first section was
completed during March of 2003. Located at the heart of the
estate, the winery sits eight hundred meters (2624.7 feet) above
sea level and overlooks the vineyards and golf course. The
winery is 350 square meters (3767 square feet) and has a vat
capacity of 150,000 liters.
The Elaboration and Conservation room lay at ground level, above
an underground cave where the wine matures. We have designed our
winery exclusively for the purpose of making world-class wines,
but solely in limited quantities. This ensures our ability to
implement all the care and attention necessary to obtain optimum
results and the best product possible.
Our careful quality control begins with the grapes and continues
throughout the entire process, all the way up to the labeling.
Grapes are harvested by hand and collected in small buckets; the
resultant wine then matures in French and American oak barrels.
Among our discriminative collection, we turn out micro wine
production of the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot,
Bonarda, Blend Rose and our very special Grand Blend.
Craftsmanship and tradition, combined with the latest
technology, allow us to obtain only the highest quality of
wines. Our wines can only be found in the local markets in
limited quantities, exported exclusively to a few select
vendors, and of course right here at our winery for our own
distinguished guests.
