The winery is located in the Pedernal Valley, just above Mendoza in Argentina. The unique climate provides a unique glass of wine, as the vineyards of Pyros are located at an altitude of 1400 meters above sea level. In a special valley where a river used to flow. A particularly fertile soil. There is a constant breeze here. In the Pedernal Valley the nights are very cool and the afternoon hours are very warm due to its location in relation to the sun.
The Malbec grapes are picked by hand and rigorously selected. The entire wine undergoes a 12-month wood aging in both French and American oak barrels.
The grapes come from plot no. 8, located at the highest point of Pedernal Valley at 1,400 meters altitude. The vineyards have a wild terroir. Irrigation comes from melting snow and rain and is done via drip irrigation. The soil is alluvial and consists of gravel of varying size and soil composition.
