The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (typically 55 to 60 percent) with Carmenere, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Its hillside vineyard extends to 42 hectares (104 acres) on a range of soils and is slightly cooler than those on the Aconcagua valley floor, with harvest usually taking place a fortnight later. Ravines between the plots are used to create habitats for flora and fauna. Farming has been biodynamic since the mid 2000s. Read more

| Harvest | Grapes were handpicked during the morning and transported to the winery in 12 kg boxes for a careful inspection on a double sorting table to discard plant matter and imperfect berries. |
| Wine making | 75% of the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and 25% in concrete tanks at 23–28 °C (73–82 °F), depending on the variety and the desired level of extraction. Free pumpovers were carried out daily during fermentation to rotate 0.5 .5 times the volume of the tank. Total maceration time ranged from 12 to 30 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, and 8 to 12 days for the Petit Verdot, according to the development of each block vinied. |
| Aging | 22 months in new French oak barrels (66%), second and third use French oak barrel (14%) and Stockinger foudres (20%), during which time malolactic fermentation and stabilization occurred naturally. |
