Bodega Valle Arriba

Placed between 2000 and 3000 m above sea level, in the North of the Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina, in the departments of Molinos, Cachi and San Carlos are micro-valleys with high oenological potential. Locally they are known as Valle Arriba.

Since 2007, we have been studying each corner of this region and selected some of these terroirs due to their nature and potential. It is precisely in these terroirs where we have produced exceptional wines.

The Collection

We seek to convey the exclusivity and originality of the Calchaquí Valley landscape through small batches to connoisseurs and unique wine collectors. These batches depicting an "art collection" were conceived and selected by Yeyé Dávalos, sixth generation wine-maker of Salta. We present this collection as a "terroirs palette", displaying a characteristic wine of each terroir.

"En tu copa cabe el río
El viento agreste y el sol.
Cabe el cielo, amigo mío,
y es tinto su corazón."

Salta -Northern Argentina Wine Region

The viticultural business is located mainly in the Calchaquí Valleys GI, a system of interconnecting valleys stretching 270 km, that it shares with the provinces of Catamarca and Tucumán. The viticulture of Salta is strongly marked by the presence of high altitude vineyards: the cultivated area starts at 5,020 fasl and reaches 10,207 fasl in Payogasta, in the department of Cachi.

The Cafayate Valley (GI), in the southwest of the province, constitutes the center of reference of the vitiviniculture of the North, standing out for the excellent quality and great varietal character of its wines. It contains 75% of the vineyards of Salta and 60% of the total area planted in the Calchaquí Valleys.

Cafayate has a hot climate and cool nights. It is characterised by wide thermal amplitude with long summers that allow good growth of the vines, and is also favoured by sandy, deep soils. The wines are lively, with good colour, aromas and flavours with intense, mature tannins. Both whites and reds are fruity with prominent varietal typicity, and alcohol tends to be high.

There has been a growth of red varieties, especially Malbec, thanks to the exceptional quality achieved in the province. Among the most emblematic red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat stand out with delicate tannins and structure. Among the whites, Torrontés Riojano is considered the finest expression of Salta

A note about our Satisfaction Guarantee: 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 these 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.
