Arca Yaco – Matias Etchart - Bonner Private Wine Partnership

Now Shipping Across the USA. Taste Salta's finest, delivered to your door.

From the heart of the Calchaquí Valleys — discover Arca Yaco, the mountain wines of Matías Etchart.

Arca Yaco is a boutique, extreme-altitude winery located in the Quebrada de San Lucas, in the Calchaquí Valleys of Salta, Argentina, at around 2,100 meters above sea level.

The project belongs to Matías Etchart, a descendant of the historic Etchart winemaking family. In 2010, he purchased the land that would become Arca Yaco, determined to revive his family’s heritage with a modern, artisanal spirit. The first vintage was bottled in 2015.

Production is tiny—focused entirely on quality over volume. The rocky, calcareous soils and the extreme mountain climate produce grapes of remarkable concentration, minerality, and freshness.

Vineyards Above the Clouds

In this dramatic Andean landscape, warm days and cool nights create perfect conditions for slow-ripening grapes. Every parcel is hand-tended and harvested manually. Winemaking is minimalist, emphasizing purity, balance, and the natural character of the vineyard.

Wines of Arca Yaco

Amar y Vivir — The signature red collection, led by Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tannat. These wines are powerful yet elegant, shaped by extreme altitude and long, patient aging.

Finca El Monte — The jewel of the estate. Grapes from a single one-hectare vineyard at 2,650 meters are fermented and aged for 15 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. The result is a deep, complex wine with mountain freshness, dark fruit, and fine, silky tannins.

Imagínate — The lighter, fruit-driven side of Arca Yaco, featuring Torrontés, Chardonnay, and young Malbec — fresh, floral, and easy to enjoy.

Critics & Recognition

94 Points (2020 Amar y Vivir Malbec) — Wine-Searcher Average
“A deep sense of place … floral rather than fruity … this is for the cellar.” — Patricio Tapia, Descorchados
“One of the great vineyards of Latin America … subtle, floral, and refined, with silky tannins and a nuanced finish.” — Tim Atkin MW
Widely recognized by critics and sommeliers for its authenticity and precision — a rising name in Argentina’s mountain winemaking.

A Legacy Reimagined

Arca Yaco represents both heritage and innovation — a continuation of the Etchart family story told in a new voice. From the silence of the Andes to your glass, each bottle expresses the land’s strength, the grower’s patience, and the timeless beauty of Salta.

Discover Arca Yaco. Taste the altitude. Feel the origin.

I have received different wines from those I ordered. Is this correct?

The vast majority of our wines are produced in very small quantities – sometimes just a few barrels. The care you can lavish on a small batch is just that much greater. And it shows. One consequence of this policy is that occasionally we run out of the wines we write to you about. If we do run out, we choose (with great care) an alternative, always of equal or greater value, and as close as possible in style to the wine offered.

Shipping Policy

State laws on wine shipping aren’t always straightforward but are under constant review, meaning the list of states that allow direct-to-home wine shipment is ever growing. As soon as a state becomes available, you can be sure we’ll add it to our list.

By federal law, you must be at least 21 years old to order and receive wine. When you place an order you will be asked to confirm that you are 21 or older. Federal law also insists that someone at least 21 years old is present to sign for the package.

If no one is available to sign for the package during normal business hours at your shipping address, we recommend the order is shipped to your business address. Alternatively, you can utilize the UPS ‘Hold for Pickup service” service (*see below for details).

*UPS offers an option to ‘Hold for Pickup service’, a convenient choice for when you can’t be there to accept delivery. It is simple to use. Once you receive your first attempted delivery you can select the UPS location where you wish your package to be held. On the next delivery attempt, your package will be sent to this location, ready for your collection.

Rerouting Alcohol Shipments

Once the package leaves the warehouse, it can be difficult to reroute it. Contact us if you need the package to arrive at a different destination.

Rerouting to another residential or business address will incur additional charges.

Re-shipping Undeliverable Packages

Once a package has been returned to us, we will contact you regarding the reshipment. If the package is to be reshipped, we will collect the reshipment fee at that time and send you the new tracking information.

Packages returned to us due to an incorrect or undeliverable address may incur return charges. You will receive credit for the returned product, however, the shipping back to us is non-refundable in the event of a package returned under these circumstances.

REFUND POLICY

Why can’t we offer the same deal on all orders? Wines, sadly, are not like power tools. A hardware store can always resell a hammer you used a couple times. Not so for a bottle of wine. Once you pop the cork, it’s a total loss to us. For that reason, we cannot offer full refunds on exclusive wine offers. But don’t worry, if the wine arrives and there’s something wrong with it, just give us a call and we’ll do what we can to make it right. As a Bonner Private Wine Partnership member, your satisfaction is all-important to us.

Tracking your package

Each club member will receive a notification email including carrier tracking when the package leaves the facility.
