Cadus is a perfectly formed winery near Tupungato, in the shadow of the Andes Mountains, within the Uco Valley. This high-altitude region has quickly built a reputation as the home of premium Mendozan wines and the Cadus range is no exception. The soil profiles and compositions within the Uco Valley vary within short distances, allowing for different grape varieties and resulting in wines styles with unique characteristics. With vineyards in the best sites in the Valley (namely Gualtallary, Vista Flores and Agrelo in Lujan de Cuyo), Cadus wines are classic in style but with a very modern twist thanks to the vision of winemaker Santiago Mayorga (Young Winemaker of the Year 2017) who is quickly forging a reputation for bright, lifted expressions of wine from the region.

From a low-yield vineyard located at 1400 m.a.s.l, of alluvial soil, with native vegetation overcrop. Cool nights give a balanced maturity expressing the typicity of high-altitude Pinot Noir.

Fermented with a percentage of stems in open top tanks. 50% of this wine was ages in for 12 months in French oak barrels of different uses and sizes.

This wine will pair beautifully with the Pinot noir classics - lamb, duck, grilled salmon, and aged cheeses.
