"The winemakers are Fabian Valenzuela & Jean Claude Berrouet (former winemaker at Petrus). Grapes come from San Pablo estate single vineyard, in Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Mendoza. The average age of the vines are 14 years old. A cold premaceration takes place (8 degrees C) for 5 days to extract color and aromas. Fermented in stainless steel tanks for approximately 15 days at 28 degrees C, then rests on the lees for 16 days. Aging takes place 12-14 months in French (95%) and American (5%) first and second use oak barrels." - Winery
