Hailing from the historic Finca Los Nobles estate in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this exceptional white wine is crafted from ancient, ungrafted vines planted at an altitude of approximately 1,050 meters. This vineyard, blessed with sandy-loam soils and irrigated by the pure meltwater of the Andes, yields a legendary field blend where Chardonnay and Semillon grow side-by-side. Harvested by hand and co-fermented, the wine is aged in French oak barrels to develop its signature complexity. The result is a sophisticated, structured white that pays homage to the Arizu family's century-long winemaking legacy, combining rich buttery notes with vibrant high-altitude acidity.
