ORIGIN | BENEGAS | PINOT NOIR
Expressing the unique characteristics of each vineyard. Wines of high intensity and structure, with excellent body, ripe and sweet tannins and lingering taste. We have six different wines: Malbec is from the best terroir in Finca La Encerrada, as well as the Pinot Noir that is made on one hectare of that estate. The 3.5-hectare Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Sangiovese’s 2.2 hectares, come from vineyards planted in 1935; the Syrah was planted in 1956 on 2.5 hectares and the blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (1935), Cabernet Franc (1899) and Merlot (1956) are all from Finca Libertad.
