Amalaya Blanco de Altura is an intriguing white wine hailing from the high-altitude vineyards of Cafayate in Argentina’s Salta region. The wine is predominantly made from Torrontés, a grape signature to Argentina, known for its floral intensity, and is complemented by a touch of Riesling, which adds acidity and complexity. The vineyards are situated at an impressive altitude of approximately 1,800 meters, which contributes to the grape’s slow ripening and enhanced aromatics. Fermentation and maturation in stainless steel help preserve the wine’s fresh, vibrant character. This wine has received favorable attention for its unique blend and refreshing profile, often recognized in wine gatherings for its aromatic breadth and crisp finish.
