A Mediterranean, sub-humid climate with a rainy winter and an extended cold spring season. Summers are generally dry with maximum temperatures exceeding 30°C. In February, temperatures begin to decline and the influence of the Andes Mountain range allows for major thermal oscillations. Lands are located to the piedmont of the Andes, soils are loamy or clay-loam with good drainage.

The grapes were machine harvested, and the must was cold macerated at 3º–4ºC for 3 days prior to undergoing a smooth and controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 14ºC. The new wine remained on its lees for a month to develop greater volume and character. The wine was finally blended and lightly filtered prior to bottling.

Ideal with appetizers or light dishes such as pastas or white meats.
