Longtime Partnership collaborator Daniel Guillen started making wine in the Calchaquí Valley in 2018. He’s always on the lookout for distinctive vineyards, and fell in love with Valle de Pucará, one of the Calchaquí’s signature beautiful landscapes, housing a well-balanced vineyard site: quartz and granitic deep sand soils, with low amounts of organic material.

In 2022 he decided to make this single vineyard wine, with the main objective of showing faithfully the landscape and terroir of Pucará, with minimum intervention and without use of oak, as is traditional in the remote desert of the Calchaquí.
