Vineyard

Trellis training system 30 years old and espalier 12 years old for Cabernet Franc.

Sandy with compost cover.

Irrigation

A drip irrigation system is used, which, thanks to the permeability of the soil, allows us to control the vigor of the plant during the vegetative cycle.

Profile

Red fruits, fresh herbs and vibrant acidity.

Hiena is a bold experiment. Vineyards nourished with recycled organic matter, minimal intervention, and energy fueled by the unpredictable nature of the Mendoza terroir. From what others discard, we create life. Here, everything that seemed bad is transformed into something extraordinary.
