Cesar Marquez is from the legendary Perez family who have been making wine in this region for centuries. His own project focuses on super-old vines and making terroir-specific wines from different parcels.
The grapes for this wine come from a minuscule parcel of iron rich soils at 540 metres altitude. The grapes ripen here slowly, and gently reaching full maturation but without excess. just 1500 bottles were made
