The story behind it

The maker

Originally established by the Etchart family, Bodegas Etchart is one of the oldest and most respected wineries in the Cafayate region. Since its inception in 1850, the winery has pioneered premium high-altitude winemaking in Argentina, showcasing the unique character of Salta's terroir.

How it is made

Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Salta, this wine benefits from the extreme diurnal temperature swings of the Andes Mountains. The intense sunlight thickens the grape skins, yielding deep color, structured tannins, and remarkable flavor concentration.
