Wine Tasting

The Médanos terroir has unique conditions ideal for quality vineyards. The soil is very rich, and given its latitude (around parallel 39º South, where the Pampa region and Patagonia converge) vineyards receive long hours of sun light, which result in grapes with high sugar contents. Windy springs help develop thicker skins that contribute to the intense color of these wines.
