Winery Overview
Philip Schell, a Bordelais who arrived in Mendoza in 1998 as a business partner of the enoligist Michel Rolland, is today passionately running his own project:
“…sensitive to the nobility of the old vineyards at Lujan de Cuyo, I found there the raw material of the wines that I produce in a winery with which I share the same philosophy, a union of respect for the environment with tradition and the support of modern technology.
My challenge: to seek for the authentic expression of the terroir with its high qualitative potential; to take care of the grapes to get the characteristic flavor of the Mendocinian Malbec, its aromas and bouquet, which make it unique… I taste, combine samples, choose the proportions, change the assemblage, taste again… I also produce a fresh and fruity Chardonnay.”

Viticulture
The last two days in February. Harvest is realized manually in small trays of 20 kg in order not to damage the grapes. Before vinification, meticulous sorting is performed by hand in order to select the best grapes.
Tasting Notes
Has a fabulous nose with notes of oak, plums, blueberries and citrus. A very fruity and juicy wine with a smooth rounded finish and nice concentration. This is not overly complex, but perfectly balanced with a long finish.
