Amalaya Malbec - 2023

Description

For centuries, farmers made offerings with hope for a miracle - as Amalaya translates in indigenous language - for a abundant harvest. The grapes come from the Calchaquí Valleys of Viñedos planted at 1,800 meters high above sea level in northwestern Argentina. The region stands out for being one of the highest in the world and is characterized also for its dry climate with rains not greater than 150 mm per year, with significant thermal amplitude; poor, rocky and sandy soils.
