Vintage Notes: The 2012 vintage experienced very good weather conditions that allowed for a smooth and complete maturation of the grapes. Furthermore, the fruit showed great freshness and, because of the large thermal amplitude that dominated the maturation season, higher than usual natural acidity. These conditions mean that the wine shows very intense and fresh red fruits with a much more evident floral expressive notes on the nose than previous vintages. The fact that they mainly used fruit from their vineyard located in the district of Las Pintadas (one of the coolest regions in Valle de Uco) reinforces, even more, the elegance that this vintage shows.
