Enviromental Performance Index
Mendoza has a Mediterranean-style warm and dry climate, with a low humidity level, an exceptional heliophany which offers more than 300 sunny days per year, a low rainfall of about 180 mm/year, and a marked daily and seasonal thermal fluctuation. The irrigation water comes down from the high mountain glaciers, and it is distributed by means of a sophisticated irrigation system.
This allows the development of an agriculture of high quality, free of plagues, and with a minimum or no requirement of chemical products.
.
Organic cultivation can be developed extensively and at a very low cost.
In Mendoza, it is still possible to acquire large extensions of land at low costs, without restrictions for foreign proprietors.

In Mendoza there are good soils, a lot of sun and enough water. But we must not forget that in future times, with global warming, we could have some difficulties. Being near the Andes Mountain Range with its favoring snow and water is a great advantage. Likewise, the climatic conditions of this zone -particularly its sun- make us avoid curing the plants, whether these are vines or fruit trees. For this reason, our crops are practically organic..
