From Canopus:
The Place: Our vineyard is located in a tranquil spot in El Cepillo, Valle de Uco, with the snow-capped Andes in full view. Canopus is a ten hectare certified organic an biodynamic vineyard, marked by its calcareous soils, extreme temperatures, and erratic winds. We pay close attention to the many subtleties and nuances of the terroir with the sole purpose of giving our wines their distinct and natural character.
The Process: Our vineyard is (certified) organic and biodynamic, respecting the original conditions of each wine and with minimal intervention. In the cellar, the wines continue their natural course; without corrections or manipulations. They age in used French oak barrels, amphoras, or ceramic spheres.
Result: Without recipes and make-up free, our wines are elegant and gutsy, with silky textures. They are born from this quest for purity, precision, and detail. From the hard work and patience that goes into them and, above all, the ability to integrate the vineyard’s character and achieve the maximum purity in the grapes and their surroundings.
