Vision
The Vineyards of Corazon Del Sol are located in the center of the Uco Valley at the base of the Andes Mountains. This small region of Argentina is known for growing quality vines and producing the best wines in the country. Within the valley, the vineyards of Corazon del Sol are nestled in the Tunuyán department, in the district of Los Chacayes. Across our 17 acres we have planted a variety of Rhône and Bordeaux grapes including Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre. Each of our three vineyards are planted on different soil types, which allows us to explore the different textures and complexities imparted by each one.These soils give us low yields, but high flavor concentration. At 3,600 ft above sea level, the vines enjoy an almost extreme elevation that contributes a beautiful natural acidity to our complex, delicate wines. Rainfall between 250 and 300mm per year allows us to farm organically and results in optimal health in our vineyards.

Sustainable Farming
Farmed completely by hand, we employ a variety of sustainable farming practices in Alexana’s Revana Estate Vineyard to promote soil health, encourage consistent and exceptional grapes, and ensure the longevity of our small vineyard.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated pest management is a method of sustainable farming that uses an ecosystem-based strategy for the long-term prevention of pests through a combination of habitat manipulation and modified viticulture practices. Bluebird boxes, as well as raptor perches, are positioned throughout the vineyard to encourage natural predators to inhabit our land.
Cover Crops
In between the vine rows, each block of our estate vineyard receives a customized mix of legumes and grasses, selected to meet the specific needs of that section of our vineyard. These cover crops, such as winter rye, vetch, and fava beans, are raised until mid-May when we mow and cultivate them under the soil so they may biodegrade and replenish vital nutrients for our vines.
