Aires, in the central sector of the Tandilia system.

Varietal: 100% Albariño
Vineyard size: 12 ha
Vineyard age: 10 years old
Yields: 10.000 kg / ha.
Irrigation: drip irrigation
Soil composition: loamy soil 1.8m deep, with good drainage. The soil has a Horizon A of crumbly structure, with 4.5% organic matter; Horizon B clay loam with presence of expandable clays and varnishes between the blocks of the structure. The C horizon is sandy loam and extends from 1.5 m depth downwards. We have the presence of calcareous, which is of phreatic, pedogenetic origin as a result of biological intervention (due to the action of microorganisms). It is distributed heterogeneously throughout the entire field where the vineyards of the Puerta del Abra Winery are planted, as well all around Balcarce, depending on the depth of the soils (where the calcareous is found more buried) and the proximity to the mountains (where the limestone emerges to a greater extent at the surface). On the other hand, according to soil analyzes carried out by the Bourgignon laboratory, one of the most interesting characteristics is about the internal surface of the clays. In the soils analyzed in Puerta del Abra, a low internal surface of clays (200 g/m2) was found

Soil composition: Our limestone is of phreatic, pedogenetic origin and that which is produced as a result of biological intervention (due to the action of microorganisms). It is distributed from heterogeneously throughout the entire field where the vineyards are planted. Puerta del Abra Winery, in Vallecito, as well as throughout Balcarce, depending on the depth of the soils (where the calcareous is more buried) and the proximity to the mountains (where the limestone surfaces to a greater extent to the surface). On the other hand, according to soil analyzes carried out by the Bourgignon laboratory, one of the most interesting points has to do with the internal surface of the clays. In the soils analyzed in Puerta del Abra, a low surface area was found internal clay (200 g/m2).
