Bodegas Callia är beläget vid foten av berget ”Pie de Palo” på hög höjd intill Anderna. Här finns dalgången “Tullum Valley” i distriktet San Juan. Genomsnittshöjden i dalgången är 630 meter över havet och årsmedeltemperaturen ligger på ca 17°C. Det regnar sällan här uppe (under 95 mm).

Winemaking Report
The grapes were hand-harvested in the morning, and placed in 18 kg-plastic boxes. Once in the winery, a cluster selection was performed. This selection was followed by a soft de-stemming and selection of berries. From the selection table, the berries passed directly to a 450 kg hopper which carried them to stainless steel tanks, without using pumps. As the berries arrived virtually entire to the fermentation tank, slight carbon maceration took place, which helped to extract the aromas of fresh fruit. After cold maceration for 96 hours at 9°C, select yeasts were inoculated. Fermentation was performed at controlled temperatures of 26°C to 29°C for eight days. Daily and very softly, the cap was manually pumped over and trampled until the end of fermentation. Maceration continued for another 26 days. The wine was subsequently rocked and malolactic fermentation took place. The wine was aged in new American oak barrels for eight months.
