The Essence
200 hectares of hard land, slate soils, non fertile and demanding, but who knows how to take care of the plant. Not receiving enough water, the vineyard strains struggling to survive and strives to find it herself, gives little, but their best. This way the grapes will tell us with its aromas where it is planted. It is the mystique of 'the essence'.
An avant-garde Winery
It was not easy to find the terroir where to elaborate the type of wines that we dreamed from the beginning. A land which would oblige the best out of each strain and that provided our varieties of a strong personality to produce unique wines.
In the middle of two hundred acres of this Trujillo state that already the Greeks cultivated in antiquity, stands out the building that houses our winery, one of the most advanced in our country.
Architecture
The building that houses our facilities not only is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, but is especially designed with essentially functional criteria to allow a flow of work optimal and appropriate to the needs of the wine, which is always on the first place of preference when making any decision.
Reaching for excellence
Our research reaches all areas and processes that are related to the viticulture and enology. We are looking for the best advisers in each field and the latest techniques available.
