While Malbec is the star of the show, the estate also cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot. This diverse planting allows them to craft their own exceptional signature blends, while also contributing top-tier fruit to the renowned Clos de los Siete project. Rooted in stony, alluvial gravel soils, the vines thrive in Mendoza’s warm, dry climate, perfectly balanced by the cooling night breezes rolling off the Andes mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eThe 2019 vintage in the Uco Valley is considered exceptional and \"superb\"\u003c\/span\u003e, characterised by a cold, dry growing season that produced concentrated, balanced, and high-quality wines.
