Prioritizing vine health over expectations, they focused on identifying the optimal harvest windows to achieve the best possible oenological maturity without compromising quality. One of the most rewarding stages of the winemaking process is when the wines are ready to begin their aging journey. In 2025, despite the season’s challenges, the results speak for themselves. The vintage is a testament to the team’s adaptability and expertise, each year revealing something new, and this one bringing with it truly great wines." - Facundo Azzoni, Winemaker MAAL
