FINCA
Plot #12
LOS ÁRBOLES, MENDOZA
1.300 MASL
A microterroir presenting sandy loam soils that yield a most attractive and seductive Pinot Noir, filled with fragrance and tension. A glorious combination of elegance and subtle yet structured power.
Finca Las Piedras stands at 1,300 masl, in the district of Los Árboles, Tunuyán, in the Uco Valley. This estate is home to plot No. 12, a parcel formerly presenting large-sized rocks that were removed prior to vineyard planting. It is a microterroir where its sandy-loam soils present 3% clay, 90% sand and 7% silt across different strata. The first stratum is clast-free down to 60 cm in depth. The second stratum presents 30% clastic rocks with a layer of more than 90% calcium carbonate and measuring up to 50 cm in diameter. These characteristics translate into a powerfully mineral Pinot Noir.
