Guarda

GUARDA Colección de Viñedos (Vineyard Collection) is a high end wine line with a small production, as a result of long periods of investigation and examination of the best terroirs within our estates. Each wine is an accurate reflection of a special vineyard located in a micro region of Cuyo, a region selected due to its quality features.

GUARDA Sisters´ Selection is another range of high-end wines made to the likes of sisters Sofía and Lucila Pescarmona. Since the two sisters have very different personalities, thus singular wines are born but their connection will always be the quality of the terroir they come from, thanks to our special selection of unique parcels in outstanding vineyard locations.
