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.
