Winery

At the heart of our vineyard and golf estate you'll find our world-class winery, which was built in 2002 under the supervision of a team that included engineers, architects and enologists. The winery sits eight hundred meters (2625 feet) above sea level and is housed in a single integrated structure that features three main sections: the Elaboration and Conservation area, the Cask Room (or Wine Cave), and the Lab and Tasting Room; which boasts an expansive view overlooking our vineyards, golf green, and the Sierra Pintada Mountains in the distance.

Our winery's outstanding collection includes Malbec, Malbec Rosè, Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet/Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay and our very special Gran Reserva. Craftsmanship and tradition, combined with state-of-the-art technology, allow us to obtain only the highest quality of wines.
