The wine region of Cafayate Valley
Argentine jewel of the Calchaquí Valleys (Salta) at 1,750 m altitude: signature Torrontés as white king — straw robe with golden glints, aromatic with bright notes of rose, jasmine, geranium, citrus, exotic fruits and a spice touch, a surprising palate of vivacity and minerality. Powerful, concentrated Malbec as red king (black cherry, plum, chocolate, spices, firm tannins). Cabernet and Tannat as backup. Extreme altitude, sandy-gravelly draining soils, strong sunshine.
The wine region of Salta
Argentine northwest province, vineyards among the world's highest (1,500-2,800 m) in the Calchaquí Valleys. Torrontés Riojano signature as king white: aromatic and expressive with signature notes of rose, jasmine, white peach, citrus, orange blossom and a musky touch, dry yet round palate — considered the country's finest. Tense altitude Malbec (blackberry, violet, ink), firm Cabernet, dense Tannat. Dry climate, strong thermal swings.
The word of the wine: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
