The wine region of Calchaqui Valley
Valleys of north-west Argentina (Salta, Catamarca, Tucumán), among the highest vineyards in the world (1,500-3,100 m).

Concentrated altitude Malbec (blackberry, violet, spices), firm Cabernet, dense Tannat. Sunlit, fresh wines.

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.
