Chañares Estate. 3,888 feet (1,184 meters). Spur pruned bilateral cordon. Drip irrigation. Northern exposure with a west-east slope of 2.7º favors air circulation and sanitary conditions in the vineyard. Well drained alluvial soil with medium sized pebbles.

Purple red with black tones. It shows aromas of fresh red fruits, fresh Andean herbs with hints of sweet spices like vanilla and cardamom. It has a great structure, personality, and pure varietal aromas.
