The Lowdown
Amalaya's vineyards are in the Calchaquí Valley which is the highest wine region in the world, and one of the most remote. Torrontés, Argentina's leading white grape, makes up around 85% of this blend with the remainder being Riesling. Together they provide brilliantly intense peach, elderflower, lychee and rosewater aromas that lead on to a soft, rich and flavoursome palate freshened up by clean, mouth watering acidity. And while delicate and silky in the mouth it rounds off with a flinty mineral edge and long fruit filled finish.
The Occasion
Racy, fresh and nicely structured it's just the thing to have with seafood dishes like seared squid.
The Producer
Founded in 2010 in the stunning high-altitude Calchaqui Valley of Argentina's Salta wine region, Bodega Amalaya is part of the famous Hess Family Wine Estates from Napa Valley. Sitting over 1,800m above sea level, the vineyards soak up intense sun by day and cool off with chilly nights. This combination gives their wines amazingly concentrated flavours, brisk acidity, and fine tannins. Their wines are a treat, capturing the unique character of their extraordinary terroir.
