Hailing from the historic Finca Los Nobles estate in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo, this exceptional red blend is born from some of Mendoza's oldest vineyards, planted at the dawn of the 20th century. Situated at an altitude of over 1,050 meters, the ancient vines of Malbec and Petit Verdot grow side-by-side as a traditional field blend. Co-fermented in the classic style, the grapes benefit from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and the mineral-rich alluvial soils irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt. This meticulous process yields a wine of profound complexity, marrying the plush, dark fruit and floral elegance of Malbec with the structural power, deep color, and savory spice of Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels, it represents a liquid testament to the Arizu family's multi-generational dedication to preserving Mendoza's viticultural heritage.
