Powerful wine of round and marked tannins of great character, excellent balance and long persistence in the palate. The ageing in wood grants the necessary silkness to put together all the range of descriptors that the wine has developed during fermentation, including the tobacco and the raw leather.
Don Tiburcio (Founder) built the first gravity-fed winery in Argentina using rail-mounted vans on the vineyards and from them to the winery, whereby means of an embankment system, the vans went up to the winery to unload the grapes in the vats.
