"Due to its altitude and proximity to the mountains, San Pablo (especially where Finca Las Cuchillas is located) is one of the coldest places in the Uco Valley. This condition prevented the area from developing vineyards until not so many years ago, as it had a pastoral livestock history that we know in Mendoza as "invernada" (winter grazing).
Our arrival at Finca Las Cuchillas was motivated by the search for that cold climate and its calcareous soils, with a focus on producing white wines and different styles of red wines.
The vineyard´s name refers to the mountain ridges that run from west to east in that area, known as "cuchillas" (blades). I like to think that our vineyard is a balcony to observe these typical features of this mountainous region.
Finca Las Cuchillas was planted starting in 2013, specifically in San Pablo Estancia at an altitude of 1400 meters (4593 ft) above sea level.
It is a place with a cold climate, frequent and severe frosts, which always presents a great challenge. Its soils are alluvial with a high concentration of stones, mostly granite, covered by a thick layer of calcareous material that defines the structure and texture of the wines. It is a place with late budbreak and slow ripening, one of the key factors for this wine.
This 100% Chardonnay is an authentic mountain wine. It is fresh, sharp, and clearly expresses the austerity and severity of the region." - Sebastián Zuccardi
