50% Espaldero Malbec and 50% 70-year-old Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, from our Los Parrales estate, in Los Sauces. Stainless steel. native yeasts. Without filter.

At the beginning of 2019 we bought our farm in Los Sauces, a fairly small area in Valle de Uco, at the foot of the Chacayes. It would be just the end of the alluvial chain of Chacayes, which means that the farm has quite a slope and, therefore, considerable differences in soil within the 13 hectares.

We converted the farm to organic and the truth is that we are very happy with the changes, seeing how it improves day by day and produces incredible grapes.

There we have cabernet sauvignon de parral (from at least 70 years ago) and malbec in trellis. With those two grapes we made Pielihueso Tinto De Los Sauces, a wine that is 50% each, in an effort to bring the area to the fore.

Pielihueso. Spanish for “skin and bones”, this estate began in 2017 when father/daughter combo Celina and Alejandro Bartolome planted vines in Los Chacayes and Los Sauces (both subregions of the Uco Valley located within Tunuyan).

The wines are all farmed organically and made with no corrections, fermented with native yeast and a low addition of sulfur is added just before bottling.

Alejandro comes from a long background in organic farming and this is the family’s first foray into wine. The labels were created by the family too! Carmela, the other daughter designed the labels from their brother’s artwork. The wineries style is making light, bright, clean and vibrant wines!
