Bodega Amalaya was born in 2010 in the high-altitude plains of the Calchaqui Valley in Salta, Argentina. It is the vision of Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar (wine pioneer Donald Hess’s successors).
They believed in the unique ’high-vibration’ qualities of Cafayate’s terroir and the ability to craft high-quality, fresh, vibrant and contemporary high-altitude wines.
Riesling is a white wine grape variety that is grown in many regions around the world, but it is particularly associated with Germany and Alsace, France. Riesling wines are known for their high acidity, minerality and a wide range of styles. They can range from dry and crisp with green apple, citrus, and mineral notes to sweet and honeyed with flavors of apricot, peach, and nectarine. The sweetness level in Riesling depends on the ripeness of the grapes, and winemakers can choose to make dry, off-dry, or sweet styles.
Riesling wines are considered to be very versatile, they pair well with a wide range of foods, particularly seafood, sushi, and spicy Asian cuisine, as well as a wide range of cheeses.
Riesling wines are known for their aging potential, and many high-quality German Rieslings can be aged for many years and still retain their complexity, balance, and freshness. It's also worth mentioning that the grape is known for its ability to express the terroir, meaning that Riesling wines from different regions can taste quite different from one another, even from one side of a mountain to the other.
Torrontés is a white wine grape variety that is primarily grown in Argentina, It's also found in some extent in Chile. The grape produces wines that are typically light-bodied with high acidity, which gives them a refreshing character. They are known for their floral, fruity aromas and flavors, including notes of peach, apricot, and white flowers, as well as a characteristic minerality and a hint of spice.
Torrontés is considered to be a very aromatic grape variety, which makes it a popular choice for making white wines that are easy to drink and can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with lighter dishes such as seafood, sushi, or spicy Asian cuisine.
