Grapes are grown in the Finca El Retiro vineyards located 1,650 metres above sea level in Valle de Cafayate, Salta.

Surrounded by ancient and magnificent cacti, the vineyard age is 65 years old, and the vines produce approximately 15 tonnes per hectare. Harvest takes place by hand in three batches between end of January when just ripe; 2 weeks later when just right; and one week after that which adds complexity. Use of a selected yeast. Maceration in press with carbonic for 4 hours. Alcoholic fermentation for 25 days at a temperature between 13 ºC and 15 ºC. Non spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

Bright and appealing with lovely fresh tropical fruit and citrus blossom notes. This is exotic stuff with lovely Eastern nuances of rose-petal, lemon grass and ginger. The palate is rich and aromatic, fresh and beautifully structured, with lovely rich ripe fruit and crisp acidity.
