DATA SHEET
Malbec is Argentina's emblematic red grape variety, finding its ideal climate and soil in Mendoza. Finca Mirador, in Medrano, has the potential to be a true "grand cru." Our philosophy is to work as hard as necessary during the 11 months in the vineyard to produce grapes that require minimal intervention during the winemaking process.
The vineyard's location, the age of the vines, the work schedule, and the water management the vines undergo are essential elements that work together to produce a wine that is a true expression of its terroir. Its personality shines through in the wine, harvest after harvest, with a unique, recognizable, and consistent character.
