Premium high-altitude wines
Wines of Gualtallary
The combination of high-altitude alluvial soils, irrigation from the Cordillera de los Andes, a long growing season with more than 300 sunny days a year, low rainfall and wide thermal swings creates ideal conditions for growing the finest organic grapes.
These climatic and geographic elements come together to provide excellent ripening and fruit concentration, developing intense yet subtle colors, aromas and flavors.
For Philippe, the sun, so generous in Argentina, is together with altitude a major ally, since it gives the wines an exceptional concentration of polyphenols, whose organoleptic and antioxidant properties act, according to numerous scientific studies, as cardiovascular protectors.
