Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it considered a "Cult Wine"?
Due to the combination of its unique origin (Patagonia), the age of its vines (1932), and its very low production, making it one of the rarest and most awarded gems in global enology.
Is it suitable for long-term aging?
Absolutely. Its acidic structure and polished tannins ensure a masterful evolution in the bottle for the next two decades.
