Why did we choose it?
Since more than a century the region of Mendoza in Argentina has been producing wines with French grape varieties as Syrah and Malbec. Today, we find wines with a good value for money and we think that this wine is part of them.

The domain:
Situated in the province of Mendoza, the vineyards that produce the grapes of this Tierra de Luna are planted in a semi-desert zone, with a " grey ground ". It is volcanic moraine. These extreme conditions require from the plants the best of themselves. The result is grapes that express themselves with distinctive aromas in the glass. It is an excellent method to identify the characteristics of the vines that are produced.
