"Anyone seeking Argentina's BEST WINE... must come here... not an easy path, but stunningly beautiful and adventurous... and don't try too much wine before the return trip... The bodega belongs to the former owner of Colome, Davolo... about 40 minutes away... and the red wines are truly unique... no wonder, given the location..."

"Incredible place. You get there via a gravel road from the mills. They don't offer guided tours, just a tasting of four wines at a cost of 2800 euros per person. Good wines. They should improve the service."

"Very remote, and the access is difficult. That wouldn't have been a problem if we had found a welcoming bodega. After passing two "no entry" signs, we arrived and found no one there. Then at some point, a very friendly guard dog (Selly) came along, and then a woman who was rather startled to see us. The bodega is picturesque and quite pretty. Still, the visit wasn't worth it."
