Under the direction of Juan Pablo Murgia, recognized as the best young Argentine winemaker in 2021, the estate cultivates Chardonnay in the Paico vineyard and distinguishes itself through a patient approach to winemaking, favoring purity and fruit expression.

The vineyard

Plots Lot 3 and 6 host Chardonnay vines that take advantage of this singular terroir, offering exceptional ripening conditions in one of the southernmost wine environments on the planet.

The vintage
