Salta, Argentina
Bodega Amalaya was born in 2010 in the high-altitude plains of the Calchaqui Valley in Salta, Argentina. It is the vision of Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar (wine pioneer Donald Hess’s successors). They believed in the unique ’high-vibration’ qualities of Cafayate’s terroir and the ability to craft high-quality, fresh, vibrant and contemporary high-altitude wines.

"It’s difficult to make a full, expressive red for under ten dollars and yet the 2020 Malbec Territorio from Cafayate achieves just that. It shows primary character, fruitiness with herb and pyrazine aromas. The intense palate and grip is usually found in more expensive price ranges. One to take a look at."
