About Pyros
PYROS is an outstanding collection of unusual and exclusive wines from Argentina. All the grapes for these wines come from the exclusive Pedernal Valley, a deep and isolated canyon located in the amazing foothills of the Andes Mountains in the province of San Juan.
Thanks to the high altitude of the Pedernal Valley, the soil, the climate and the excellent location and terrain of the place combine to create an exceptional and unique terroir, which results in high quality wine grapes.
PYROS cultivates the complex and exceptional quality of the Pedernal Valley to express the full potential of the viticulture of San Juan. The results are extraordinary and unusual wines which are both complex and elegant.
