At an altitude of more than 1,300m, in the foothills of the Andeas and the shadow of the mighty Dos Cumbres (twin peaks) of the Tupungato and Tupungatito volcanoes, the Finca Ferrer estate vineyards are planted on deep alluvial sand over pockets of rich limestone rocks. With yields limited to 6,000kg/ha the grapes were harvested by hand within a single 5Ha block from mid-march to early April and sorted on arrival to the winery. Whole berries were cold-soaked for 72-96 hrs at 10°C in stainless steel and 10% of the must was bled from the tank in order to increase concentrations. The remaining juice was fermented in small tanks up to 25°C with both indigenous and cultured yeasts in order to develop a range of styles for maturation and blending. 70% of the final wine was aged in oak barrels for 8 months, of which 30% are new (60% French and 40 American). The total production of 10,000Ltrs was bottled in March 2015 Wm Jose Antonio Montilla
