FIRST ANNIVERSARY

It has now been exactly 1 year since we started our project, buying 35 hectares of uncultivated land in the heart of Mendoza. Let's don' forget that we did not have water at that time and we had to get the permits sorted out, dig a well of more than 200 meters, level and clean the entire property before we could start in august 2006.

Thanks to the excellent work of our agronomist Mario and his team we were able to put 50.000 sticks into the ground, install a high tech irrigation system and plant 120.000 wineplants in less than 4 months and the result is amazing. Congratulations to all of you !!!!!

NEW TRACTOR

With the newly purchased tractor the work of cleaning the aisles has become much simpler. We are currently testing a new Driver, who will become member of our team, if everything goes well

WINE PLANTS REACHING FIRST WIRE

We have now reached mid summer and most of our plants have reached the first wire at 50 cms height, which is astonishing taking into account that we have finalised planting the roots 3 months ago. Congratulations to Mario and his team
