With a diverse setup including stainless steel tanks, concrete pools, amphoras, clay jars, and wooden vats, the winery boasts a total production capacity of 150,000 liters.  Located in El Peral, Tupungato, within the esteemed Uco Valley and nestled at the base of the Andes Mountains, the vineyards stand at 1150 meters above sea level. Benefiting from the pure waters of the Tunuyán River and its mountain tributaries, this area is not just a productive haven for viticulture but also a mesmerizing landscape that enchants all who visit
