Taste the terroir of Luján de Cuyo.

2026

An unusual year for both temperature and rainfall, and above all for how much the zones differed from one another: far more than in recent harvests. The season ran well below average in temperature, closest in character to 2016 and 2019. That slower ripening kept technological and phenolic maturity in step and preserved high natural acidity.

Rain came in short, intense bursts that drained quickly, which held fungal pressure down and left the vineyard in excellent health. The wide temperature spread between zones pushed the picking windows into an unusual overlap, so Chardonnay, Sémillon, Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc from different parts of Mendoza came in at once: demanding on cellar logistics, and on the decisions behind them. For ten days we planned the pick the evening before and postponed it again in the morning for rain.

Early tastings show wines with tension and clear aromatic expression; against 2025 the reds are juicier and lower in alcohol. Natural acidity, phenolic ripeness reached in a cool season and excellent fruit health point to a vintage of high quality potential, and one with a strong sense of terroir, where the differences between the wines are structural rather than stylistic.

2025

In the winter, we decided to reduce pruning to three shoots, to further improve our grape quality and promote vine health.

Fortunately, we were spared early and late frosts in the spring, and the flowering and fruit set cycle also proceeded smoothly.

Due to several heat waves during the summer, our grapes ripened about two weeks earlier, and we were able to begin harvesting the white grapes as early as mid-February. We began the red grape harvest on 28 February and completed it within three days. Thanks to that early harvest, we were spared the heavy rains that hit Mendoza in the first half of March and caused significant problems for many producers.

The health and quality of the grapes were excellent, and this promises to be an outstanding vintage.

2024

The growing season started off difficult, with two nights of frost at the beginning and in the middle of November causing a loss of 50% of our harvest. 2024 being an El Niño year, the vintage had plenty of water, so we had to apply one biodynamic quartz treatment against the humidity.

In the summer the temperatures were very high. On 2 February, a rare, strong storm lasted 20 minutes and cooled down the hot weather of that week.

Harvest for our white grapes started in the first week of February, and the Malbec was picked in the second week of March. Despite being a difficult vintage weather-wise, the quality of the fruit turned out to be excellent. Due to the on average cooler season, the alcohol levels are pleasantly low.
