Brothers Hector and Pablo are passionate about expressing the characteristics of Argentina’s various terroirs along with freshness and bright, focused fruit, which is enhanced by their preference to age wine in concrete.
Originally from Mendoza, they have produced wines at properties in Italy, Argentina and Chile. Then, in 2002, Hector and Pablo began their own family winery.
The brothers are proud to explore and champion terroirs beyond Mendoza under their Aguijón de Abeja range, ‘bee sting’, referencing the laborious work of the bee. They look for distinct viticultural regions in Argentina and find the variety that best represents each province. The Bonarda is produced from the Catamarca province with the vines planted back in 1938. The Bonarda is aged in French oak for six months.
