Doña Paula is a winery that produces premium wines, established in 1997 in Mendoza, Argentina. We own 100% of the vineyards used for the production of all our wines, planted in the best areas of the country, looking for the most faithful expression of each terroir.THE TERROIR EFFECT The wines in our Altitude Series line are the result of the combination and use of four key factors: soil, elevation, field management and varietal. The search for the varietals that grow best in each part of the vineyard, taking into account the soil and the altitude, in combination with the management of the fields and the oenological decisions that allow us to express, in these high-altitude wines, the terroir effect. VINIFICATIONThe harvest begins in mid-April with the Malbec and Casavecchia varieties, and finishes with the Cabernet Franc at the end of April. The harvest is carried out manually and the grapes are destemmed without breaking the grains. A cold maceration is then carried out separately for each variety in stainless steel tanks to extract the primary aromas. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is blended and aged in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new, for 14 to 16 months.In recent years, Gualtallary has positioned itself as the queen region for the production of Cabernet Franc in Mendoza. At Doña Paula, we have one of the most important vineyards of this geographical indication and we want to show the world with Cabernet Franc 1350 the qualitative potential of this variety in this region.
