The Estate has 72 hectares planted with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The vines are an average of 30 years old and are planted on original rootstock. The vineyards are harvested by hand.
The soils are deep and compact with 90% clay loam. In loamy soils like Agrelo, we work the land in order to achieve a good penetration of the water at depth. We perform deep subsoiling to counteract the compaction that occurs in this type of soil. We plough to control weeds and to incorporate natural nitrogenous substances to improve the structure and provide nutritional balance.

Our vineyards are located in Alto Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo, in the foothills of the Andes mountains in Mendoza’s prime region for fine wine production. The genetic heritage of Finca La Anita corresponds to a dedicated massal selection from different vineyards in Luján de Cuyo of proven oenological quality. The vines are reproduced in the vineyards where they are planted resulting in more diversity and greater complexity than many other vineyards which are populated by selected commercial clones.
