THE PLACE

El Peral: Surrounded by the hills of El Peral and Tupungato, between 1150 and 1200 meters of altitude, El Peral enjoys a cool microclimate with cold nights. Its soils are diverse, coming from the alluvial fan of the Las Tunas River, with medium depth and layers of small gravel with occasional calcareous material covering the gravel. Gualtallary: At the foot of the Frontal Mountain Range, between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level, Gualtallary has a temperate and arid climate: a true high-altitude desert. Its rugged terrain among the Jaboncillo Hills enclose very diverse soils with abundant calcareous material, formed by distinct layers of sand, caliche and stones.
