The grapes are cultivated from vineyards located in Caucete, at 650 meters (2,133 feet) above sea level, in alluvial, sandy-textured soil. The vines are drip irrigated with snowmelt runoff from the Andes, providing the optimum amount of water to each plant. Vines are trained on trellis.

Wine maker notes

The grapes are hand-harvested and clusters are manually selected before de-stemming. Pre-fermentative maceration is performed at 12°C for 72 hours. Fermentation takes place at 24°C for 10 days. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks for 5 months.

Food pairing

Due to the character of young red wines like Callia Alta, serve this wine slightly cooler than you would serve older red wines. A temperature of 15°C - 16°C is ideal as it allows for the integration of fruity flavors and the tannic structure of this wine.
