At the foot of the Frontal Mountain Range, at an altitude of 1,360 meters, this area of Gualtallary that we know as “Monasterio” has a temperate and arid climate: a true high altitude desert. Located in the small valley at the foot of the Jaboncillo Hills, the slopes and ravines enclose a landscape rich in thorny bushes, desert trees, and jarilla herbs, that grow alongside Malbec vines. For this wine, we selected the parcels most rich in caliche and stones covered in calcareous material.

2019 was an exceptional harvest, fresh and dry. With temperatures that were below the average and a great thermal amplitude. The climatic conditions gave us very good natural acidity, very well-structured tannins, excellent fruit and not overripe. Movement of the grapes is by gravity, fermentation is in concrete vessels with native yeasts, and the wine is aged in concrete vessels.
