FINCA MOSQUITA MUERTA

FINCA MOSQUITA MUERTA

Estate located in the Department of Tunuyán, Los Árboles district, between 1,400 and 1,700 m.a.s.l. There, the vineyard rests on slopes of sandy-loam soils and alluvial terraces filled with large rounded stones that treasure the passage of time. Thanks to a subtle southeastern tilt, the rows receive very gentle morning light, sheltered from the afternoon heat peaks; a fresh, balanced environment where the fruit ripens slowly, shaped by an extreme thermal contrast that defines its great finesse.
