From the architect. The building is a very simple structure. The aesthetic resources used to create this “telescopic barn” were minimal. The rhythmic growth varied as internal functions, allowing ventilation, illumination, and the complete presence of the winery in the main continuous interior.

The enclosure is a large concrete pool 100 meters long, with iron metal structure with high compounds thermal insulation panels.

La winery faces towards the west to east, allowing controlled sunlight, indirect lighting and ventilation by “Venturi effect” taking advantage of the predominant Zonda winds.

As its growth reaches towards the west, the general body begins to submerged into the mountain, until it remains at barrel´s guard zone, totally underground, wich increased thermal stability.

Upon etering, the social area has three views, wich each look out to three different themes. Towards the south, the vast vineyards that transcend into the Uco Valley; to the west, the grand Andes Mountain range, and towards the inside, the perception of hole facilities. From here starts the walking tour of the winery.
Plan
The continuous interior space in only interrupted by a glass bridge look out area, wich also doubles as the office and laboratory.
