Wine maker notes

Altos de San Isidro is 60 acres of vineyards planted in 1970 by Héctor "Chacho” Herrero, the son of don Melchor Herrero and Francisca Cerezo, two Spanish immigrants. The vineyards were originally planted with Torrontes and Barbera. In the early 1990’s, Chacho’s son, Héctor, took charge of the vineyards; he planted Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon using a VSP trellis system, and incorporated state-of-the art drip irrigation. In 2006, Héctor and his wife Rosana founded the family winery Herrero Cerezo, taking the name from the grandparents who immigrated to Argentina from the Ribera del Duero in 1912. Héctor carries out extensive and numerous experiments using micro-vinification to exploit the potential of his family vineyard.
