The vineyards for this Lunaris Malbec are located in the San Juan region, where a perfect balance is found between warm daytime temperatures and the refreshing nighttime breeze. Due to the many hours of pruning in the vineyards, the yield from the vines is lower than average, but the quality is far superior. As you can imagine, quality is paramount at Bodegas Callia. At the perfect ripeness, the Malbec grapes are hand-picked. The grapes are then transported directly to the winery in small baskets weighing no more than 10 kilos, minimizing damage from bruising during transport. Here, the grapes are immediately pressed gently and softly, ensuring only the finest, first-rate juice reaches the tanks.
