Wine Profile:

Wine made with grapes from Finca San Isidro, located at 1800 masl. Manual harvest and fermentation at very low temperatures.

In the view it is bright greenish yellow. On the nose with subtle and complex fruity aromas where green apple and floral notes stand out and, on the palate, sweet and voluminous entry with a very fresh finish. The mineral notes and biting acidity stand out.

For centuries, farmers made offerings with the Hope for a Miracle - as Amalaya is translated in the indigenous language - for a bountiful harvest.

The grapes come from the Calchaquíes Valleys from vineyards planted at 1800 meters above sea level in northwestern Argentina. The region stands out for being one of the highest in the world and is also characterized by its dry climate with rainfall of no more than 150 mm per year, with significant thermal amplitude; poor, rocky, and sandy soils.
