Why did we choose Los Árboles?
We believe that Los Árboles is the best region in Valle de Uco to produce Cabernet Sauvignon. The sharpness of its rocky soils -almost like a riverbed- forces the vine to adapt by growing in a moderate way, which results in some very well-balanced yet powerful wines, with great elegance and personality.
SOIL PROFILE OF Los Árboles
This high altitude terroir is located in Tunuyán, very close to Gualtallary. Soils are mainly alluvial loam with plenty of rounded stones. The intertwined sandy layers provide very good drainage.
Los Árboles’ first horizon reaches 12 feet deep of a sandy-loam matrix. On the second layer, we find 5 feet of a mix of medium and large alluvial rocks. The third and final layer is made of small gravels with an extension of 8 feet deep.
