This wine is a brilliant ruby colour with purple edges. The nose boasts aromas of ripe strawberry and raspberry, with floral notes and subtle hints of pepper and spice. Flavours of red fruit, spice and vanilla fill the mouth, and the well-integrated tannins are balanced beautifully by an elegant freshness.

The estate’s vineyards are located in Cafayate in the very heart of the Calchaqu Valley, distinguished for being one of the highest wine regions in the world at 1700 metres above sea level.

Amalaya translates as hope for a miracle in the indigenous language of the now extinct tribe, the Calchaqu. The winery is situated in the Calchaqu Valley in Salta, in the far north of Argentina, at 1,828 metres above sea level. It is a part of Hess Family Wine Estates and is run with the same dedication to quality, sustainability and social responsibility as the other Hess estate in the region: Bodega Colom.
