This 100% tannat red wine is made with grapes from the plots called CERRO 1, 2, 4 and 5, planted in one of the highest sectors of the vineyard (120 meters above sea level), on an extreme soil of syenite and metamorphic rock.
Soil nutrition is naturally poor, forcing plants to dig deep into their roots for food and water. In this way, it comes into contact with a great diversity of rocks and their minerals in different degrees of decomposition.
The vines in this sector receive constant winds from the sea, which is located just two kilometers away, all of which generates significant stress and consequently a low production of kilos. Furthermore, very precise and meticulous viticultural work is carried out to conduct the proper maturation.
As a result, we obtain a grape of great expression that is later reflected in a high-end tannat with an Atlantic character. The elaboration is carried out with a low intervention protocol, and then a part of the wine is aged in American oak barrels.
