Located on the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Perdriel, Mendoza, grapes are taken from two vineyards; 60% from Perdriel, based at the highest part (altitude of 980m) of the Mendoza River and 40% from the vineyard at Vista Flores in Valle de Uco (1080m altitude). Grapes are de-stemmed and crushed with three days of cold maceration before fermenting in stainless steel, before eight months in oak barrels (70% French 30% American).
