Tupungato has an ideal microclimate for the slow ripening of the grapes, with a thermal amplitude that allows to reach a great concentration of aromas and flavors. In turn, the small terroir of Gualtallary gives its wines one of the most unique profiles of Argentina distinguishing them as some of the most fresh and mineral in the country. The combination of height, cold weather and sandy and stony soils results in an ideal natural acidity that gives intense and elegant wines that stand out for their good structure and unique tannic texture.
