EL Esteco
Salta, Argentina
El Esteco is located in the Calchaquí Valley in Argentina, more than 5,500 feet above sea level! What would seem like an unsuitable location for grape growing yields elegant wines amidst a backdrop of jaw dropping mountain views.
The El Esteco vineyards are located in Cafayate, an isolated stretch of desert, with a unique terroir where the highest vineyards run north to south, allowing moderate winds to improve the microclimate of the canopy.
The desert climate, the soils which are poor in organic matter, as well as diurnal temperature swings yield wines that balance concentration and elegance.
