The Story

The 17 acres of estate vineyards are planted at the base of the Andes at an elevation of 3,000 feet. A visually stunning background, the Andes are also responsible for the incredibly deep, alluvial soils which define their estate vineyard. Made up of rock and sand which has eroded from the Andes Mountains over millennia, these soils are extremely deep and well-drained, resulting in wines of great complexity, power and finesse.

The Values

In 2008, Dr. Madaiah Revana went to Argentina seeking to add to his family of estate wineries which includes Revana Family Vineyard in Napa Valley and Alexana Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Enthralled by the terroir of the Uco Valley, he was determined to find his next great estate here on the incredible alluvial soils of the Andes Mountains. The Corazón del Sol Estate is a 17-acre parcel planted in an ancient stone covered riverbed at the eastern base of the Andes Mountains and enjoys over 300 days of sunlight a year. Cultivated in the Uco Valley, which is situated in Mendoza on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains, the vines sit at 3,600 feet elevation, where the UV Index is intense, and the air is thinner and cooler. Extreme shifts in temperature allow for the longest ripening window in the region.
