Our Wines

This line reflects the purest expression of the Calchaquí terroir through varieties that invites wine lovers to discover the Cafayate´s identity: its aromas, flavors and the touches provided to each grape variety.

It is a series of young and easy to drink wines that offers the typical characteristics of each grape and the unique and distinguishable character of the valley that gives its name to its varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Syrah, Torrontés, Chardonnay, Torrontés Tardío and Rosé. These are genuine, fruity and expressive wines, with the Cafayatean terroir´s signature.

Since 2009, the Cafayate Estate line has been seducing wine lovers with premium, balanced and distinguished wines as a result of vineyards implanted over 1,750 meters above the sea level. The red varieties, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, are the accurate reflection of the Cafayatean terroir: they are intense, strong and mature. The whites, Chardonnay and Torrontés, stand out for their great aromatic complexity, structure and body while still being soft and velvety; these are high lineage wines.

Based in a philosophy that favors balance and elegance, alongside with the wood´s contribution, this range of varieties is the true representative of the Cafayatean terroir.

At more than 1750 meters above sea level and in a unique place, the lineage of a century-old winery that knows how to translate all the experience in the management and development of this terroir into great wines is enhanced.

Cafayate Terroir de Altura is the result of knowing how to expect the best expression of the terroir. The winemaker’s sensitivity fully deployed in the search for unique plots that result in balanced and elegant wines.

The red varieties, Malbec complemented with 10% Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon complemented with 10% Tannat, both aged for 10 months in barrels. The white, Torrontés reflects the maximum expression of this strain in which we have more than 170 years of experience. Without aging to preserve the typical aromatic freshness of the variety.

Launched in 1990, Arnaldo B. is the icon wine of Bodegas Etchart that was born as a tribute to the founder of the winery, created using the best grapes of Cafayate. Made with Malbec (60%) and Cabernet (30%) as base varieties, the remaining 10% of the blend varies year after year, depending on the harvest of Tannat, Syrah, Bonarda, Ancellotta and Petit Verdot grape varieties.

Elegant, complex and structured, this great blend is a wine that is at the level of Arnaldo Benito Etchart: a hero of the Argentine winemaking.
