Cavas De Santos
Most of Santos Beck's vineyards are located in Mendoza and San Juan, cultivated in the foothills at elevations higher than 3,000 feet, and irrigated by the mountain rivers. There are a variety of
soils: gravelly, loamy, clay-sand, clayed, etc, and the climate is dry with a wide day/night temperature range. In short, the ecological conditions are optimal for producing spectacular wines from several different varietals.

Green harvesting and leaf pulling ensures optimum berry growth, and harvest occurs at the higher grape polyphenolic maturation point. The grapes are carefully picked in small bins (40 lb.) to avoid breaking the
skins, and undergo a painstaking sorting. After pressing, the juice and skins undergo an extended
maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Stabilization is natural.
Then, the wine is aged in new French and/or American oak. After several months of cellaring, each bottle is labeled by hand.

Santos Beck's Gran line is hailed by critics for being both approachable and well structured.
