We, Christophe Brunet and Franck Massard, both trained as sommelier and above all long time friends decided in 2004 to make a dream reality by acquiring our own vineyard. We applied our fingerprints “Huellas” on the label, which represents for us an artisanal wine.

Tasting notes
This wine reflects his place of birth by displaying ripe fruit, cherries, figs and an underlying scent of thyme and rosemary. The structure is based on finely etched tannins and certain opulence in the mid-palate that is gently tamed by a mineral acidity lifting the wines and lending it a harmonious and seductive finish.
