El Esteco

El Esteco is located in Cafayate, the heart of the Calchaquíes Valleys, surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape, shaped by the sun, mountains and vineyards.

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.

Vineyards in the Calchaquíes Valley at high altitude

Bodega El Esteco is located in the Calchaquíes Valleys, a beautiful natural landscape characterized by the sun, mountains and vineyards. The Valleys consist of Cafayate and Chañar Punco. A secluded and hidden place in the middle of the valley of Calchaquíes.

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, grapes of excellent quality are obtained for the production of wines of great character and unique personality.

It sounds risky to make excellent wines here. Something that can only be achieved by those who believe there is something beyond what they already know.

Cafayat 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.

Chanar Punco

80 km south of Cafayate is another area of great vineyards: Chañar Punco, located in the province of Catamarca, in a hidden, almost impenetrable and secluded place, 2,000 meters above sea level. There the heterogeneity of the soil is striking, calcareous and stony, rich in silt and sand. In this terroir, wines are born with a high concentration of flavors and a great structure, faithfully expressing the characteristics of this region. Unique features of this area create wines that are different.
