Our vines came as rootlings from the famous Bodega Catena Zapata, Mendoza. Over the years the agronomists in charge have selected rootlings from old vines aiming to multiplicate the best vines. The result: four different “selección masal” of Malbec. In 2005 we could buy two of them: Malbec Cartel 18 and Malbec Consulta. Our vines are not grafted since there is low risk of nematodes nor phylloxera. The structure of the vineyard is called “VSP – double cordon”. In order to obtain a maximum on quality we planted our vineyard with a denseness of 7800 vines per hectare. Thanks to the beneficial climate conditions with 25 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius difference between day and night and the very good soil the vines can produce high quality grapes. The first harvest took place in 2011 with a result of 220 bottles. At the tasting we were surprised by the quality and the evident potential of the wine. “Our dream to capture the unique characteristics of a terroir in a bottle”.
