The first plot is Mariana, a little over two hectares, planted in the late 80's, located at one end of the property and a very poor land and a little of iron clay concentrate, bringing the complexity to the wine. The other plot is the wine that made in Esclopé planted in the early 90s, with a ground a little more calcareous providing a fresh and young wine.
