A remote and hidden place in the middle of the valley of Calchaquíes where this El Esteco Don David Malbec Reserva is Made .

A unique landscape different from what is known. In this inhospitable area , 1,700 meters above sea level, with extreme conditions where altitude and thermal amplitude are combined, excellent quality grapes are obtained for the production of wines of great character and unique personality

Vineyards in the Calchaquíes Valley at high altitude

A winery that has a clear respect for the Salta tradition, a fusion between the legacy of ancient civilizations, the Spanish influence and the Creole spirit. Surrounded by old vineyards, the iconic Spanish-colonial style building with galleries and internal patios captures the elegance of the typical colonial architecture of the north of the country. The centennial building stands in contrast to the most up-to-date wine production technologies housed in the winery; such as concrete barrels and stainless steel tanks, passing through the always poetic French and American oak barrels, giving us wines of different styles, tastes and aromas.

Cafayate Valley

Located in Salta and located at more than 1,700 meters above sea level, it is one of the emblems of the Calchaquíes Valleys. Its beauty lies in its landscapes with curious reddish geological formations. The stony soils present a natural challenge that requires special study of each piece of land and then each planting of vines carried out by hand.

Poor alluvial soils, sunny mornings and mild afternoons in the summer months that allow long ripening periods and a marked thermal amplitude make Cafayate an exceptional terroir. The vineyards are worked day after day, creating stories that are reflected in the harvests, brands that influence the quality of the grapes and from which careful and perfect wines are born.
