Amalaya Cabernet Sauvignon
Salta, Argentina
Tasting Notes
Deep red color with violet highlights, bright and of good intensity. Intense and expressive aromatic profile. Predominant notes of ripe black fruit — cassis, blackberry, and plum — accompanied by a delicate spicy character. Smooth and enveloping on the palate. Well-balanced, with soft yet present tannins that support the classic structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Long, persistent finish with spicy notes.

Vineyard Notes
Vineyards Location: Finca San Isidro and Calchaquí Valley
Amalaya is located in the high plains of the Calchaquí Valley in Salta, Argentina, at an incredible 5,900 feets above sea level. The extreme altitude, the proximity to the sun, the pure air, and surrounding desert of poor, rocky, and sandy soils with annual rainfall of no more than 240mm create an ideal setting for this oasis.
Amalaya Cabernet Sauvignon is made with grapes from Calchaquí Valley, grown on mineral and stony soils.
