Mendoza & Beyond: Discover the Soul of Argentine Terroir

Founded in 1902, Bodega Catena Zapata is recognized as the pioneer of high-altitude viticulture in Argentina. This Malbec is a masterful blend from the family's historic estate vineyards — located at different altitudes in Mendoza — delivering rich dark fruit, velvety tannins, and exceptional complexity that consistently earns top critic scores worldwide.

Established in 2010 in the heart of the Calchaquí Valley in Salta, Bodega Amalaya is renowned for its high-altitude viticulture, with vineyards sitting at approximately 1,800 meters above sea level. The name "Amalaya" translates to "hope for a miracle" in the native Quechua language — vivid spice, deep color, and a striking mineral edge unlike any Mendoza on the shelf.

Crafted by Argentina's first female winemaker, Susana Balbo, the Sustentia line represents a deep commitment to environmental awareness and sustainable viticulture. This certified organic Malbec is sourced from estate vineyards farmed without chemicals — bright, fruit-forward, and genuinely refreshing. Eco-conscious luxury that drinks beautifully and means something.

From one of Uco Valley's most celebrated single vineyards, this Cabernet Franc by Alejandro Vigil is a benchmark of Gualtallary's extreme terroir — rocky soils above 1,200m, intense UV radiation, and dramatic diurnal shifts. Expect floral precision, graphite, and dark fruit with a structure built for decades. A collector's wine available on the US market.

The Gran Enemigo Agrelo is a single-vineyard icon from Luján de Cuyo's storied Agrelo appellation — Cabernet Franc-driven with old-vine complexity and the unmistakable stamp of Alejandro Vigil's winemaking philosophy. Silky tannins, dark spice, and exceptional depth from one of Mendoza's most mineral-rich soils. A landmark release for serious collectors.

Bodega Colomé is one of Argentina's oldest and highest wineries, with vineyards reaching over 3,100 meters above sea level in the Calchaquí Valley. This Torrontés — Argentina's signature white grape — bursts with jasmine, peach, and citrus zest, backed by a crisp acidity that only high-altitude growing can deliver. The definitive expression of Salta in a glass.
