Description of their own wines
"Elegance and personality are, without a doubt, the main characteristics we have aimed to instill in our wines. High color intensity, complex nose notes, contributions of terruño notes, along with the fruity and floral aromas of the variety and those from barrel and bottle aging. On the palate, we have sought to provide smoothness, while also delivering intensity and body, and a long aftertaste full of pleasant sensations."
