AMALAYA

Founded in 2010, Bodega Amalaya is located 1,600m above sea level in the rugged high dessert of Argentina's Calchaqui Valley. An area historically considered unfarmable, visionary Winemaker Donald Hess believed it had the potential to produce great wines. Today the region is known as one of the highest places in the world suitable for viticulture and is where Hess’s successors, Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar, produce a fantastic collection of award winning high altitude blends from the healthiest sustainably-farmed grapes in the Salta region.

Brilliant ruby color with violet edges. Strawberries, raspberries and ripe fruit with touch of pepper and spices aromas and elegant floral notes. In mouth, flavors of red fruit, spice and hints of vanilla from aging in French oak. Very nice freshness. Round, soft tannins lead to a delicate, lingering finish.

This wine is made with grapes from Las Mercedes Estate, sandy soil and very poor in organic matter. Mechanical harvest and aging in barrels of 25% of the wine with contributions from Tannat and Petit Verdot.

Bright greenish-yellow in color. With subtle and complex fruity aromas where green apple and floral notes stand out. On the palate, sweet and full-bodied entry with a very fresh finish. Mineral notes and acidity stand out. Exquisite and fresh white blend elaborated with Torrontes and Riesling, attractive aromas of fresh lychees and peaches. Special wine to enjoy in a hot summer day pairing with Chinese food, soft cheeses and pasta.

 

For centuries, farmers made offerings in hope for a miracle – as Amalaya translates in the local language – for a bountiful harvest. It is located at 5,900 feet above sea level, in the Calchaquí Valley, northwest of Argentina. The region stands out as one of The Highest Vineyards In The World, characterized by its dry climate with no more than 150 mm annual rainfall, with significant thermal amplitude; rocky and sandy soil.
