The brothers were going into uncharted territory as the plot they bought in the high terrain of Valle de Uco was desert in composition. They were able to cultivate this soil for the first time and leave it in its well-drained state. No chemical input was required (they don't even use them to weed!) and the nearby mountains provided cool nighttime temperatures that helped the grapes to ripen slowly and develop character.

Their Pinot Gris is their best-selling wine, making up a third of their wine production in Argentina. The brothers were the pioneer of the Pinot Gris varietal in Argentina and their experimenting with this varietal in the New World has paid off with a delightfully balanced white. The wine has aromas of flowers (lilac and jasmine) and lemon. In the mouth, this wine does a delicate dance between lush melon and citrus fruit notes and a slate-like minerality. Refreshing acidity on the finish wraps everything up in a nice zesty package. If you're looking to pair this with food, I'd recommend seared tuna and caprese salad.

The winery is located in the "Primary Zone" of Mendoza near the foothills of the Andes. Excellent soils and long, dry days make this area optimal for growing vines. They hold onto old family traditions of production while adding in modern advances such as stainless steel tanks.

The Lancatay Malbec is fermented in stainless-steel containers, left unfiltered to preserve the grapes' rich character and then aged in French oak. The wine has deep plum aromas with a allspice and roasted nut character from the oak. Blackcurrant jam, blueberry and pepper flavors lushly roll out over the tongue but don't overpower the palate. This supple and delicious Malbec would be great paired with ribeye or nice, aged Gouda.
