OUR WINES
MAKIA
MAKIA wines are first of all Estate Wines as the grapes we use come from our vineyards of which they are the only and ultimate expression
Premium
In accordance with our corporate philosophy the line MAKIA Premium is vinified in single variety, therefore without any blending and without using any type of wood or fermentation in the aging process. This choice allows us to produce wines that fully and exclusively express the characteristics of the variety and the region.
Currently we have one “Reserva” wine. Talante is our Malbec Reserva, it’s a special selection from our best vineyards. The fermentation and aging is partly in 500 lt. oak barrels.
