Finca Los Almendros
“Los Almendros” is located in Perdriel, Luján
de Cuyo, one of the highest regions to the south of the Mendoza
river for the production of malbec. Los Almendros is particularly
one of the highest fincas in Perdriel.
This region has always given fantasy to our wines. The sober
(moderate) complexity and elegance of Lulunta has always counted
on the spontaneity and freshness given by “Los Almendros”.
Perdriel is also the place where we live. It is where we give
expression to our very personal philosophy and where we enjoy
the culture of wine. This is the place where we cultivate
our vineyards and honor the vines.
Perdriel is the aristochracy of terroirs. We feel proud to
be one of the first to choose this region -of well known families-
to stay forever. We enjoy to be so close to the mountains,
where the snow-covered summit of “Cordón del
Plata” makes us feel the cold of its perennial snows.
Perdriel is synonym of Malbec. And Malbec, at the same time,
is synonym of Argentina in the world.
“Los Almendros” has vineyards of a century old
prunned in the old vinegrowers’ way, known as the Guyot
system.
In this small vineyard of low production, harvest takes place
on April, just when the autumn begins. Every year we wait
till we get what we consider to be the ideal maturity of grapes.
This state is always reached at the beginning of autumn.
(“Los Almendros” give us what we call the great
wine of autumn, the result of grapes containing aromas of
the past summertime).
