Our Estate Vineyards

This well balanced blend comes from our Ugarteche vineyards, in Luján de Cuyo. The yield per hectare is 7-10 tons. We use drip irrigation and a trellis conduction system. The climate of this estate, located at 1050 meters (3445 feet) above sea level, is characterized by its warm days and cool nights, with a thermal amplitude of 14ºC and an average annual rainfall of 250 mm (9.84 inches). At Doña Paula we always manage our vineyards using sustainable agricultural practices.

Vinification

The milling is reductive, as contact with oxygen is avoided. Cold pre-fermentation maceration preserves primary aromas. The must is then fermented at low temperatures. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine is aged for 12 months in first, second, and third-use French
oak barrels. These French oak barrels are smoked using a secret process that imparts aromas similar to the wood used for the embers of a traditional Argentine asado (Algarrobo).
