Deep and inviting, this wine bursts with black and blue berries - think blueberry, blackberry, and dark plum - layered with warm, sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. It’s like biting into a rich blueberry pie with hints of eucalyptus and fresh mint adding an intriguing lift. On the palate, it’s dry with lively acidity. Subtle notes of tobacco and dried herbs add depth and complexity, making this a very polished and seriously enjoyable wine.

Agustín Lanús and a dedicated group of winemakers are pushing the limits of viticulture in Argentina’s remote Calchaquí Valley, where vineyards cling to some of the highest altitudes in the world - between 1,650 and 3,100 meters above sea level. These extreme conditions present enormous challenges: harsh weather swings, tough access, and the constant battle to nurture vines in a high desert environment. But the payoff is remarkable. The combination of intense sunlight, cool nights, and long ripening periods produces wines with incredible concentration, vibrant fruit, and complex tannins - qualities that research confirms improve with altitude. Agustín’s journey began in 2006, driven by a passion to explore and master these unique micro-terroirs scattered across Salta, Tucumán, and Santa María provinces. With a wealth of international experience and advanced studies in viticulture and oenology, he has not only crafted exceptional wines but also helped develop vineyards that celebrate the distinct character of this high-altitude desert landscape. Based in Cafayate, the heart of the Calchaquí Valley, Agustín Lanús Wines captures the spirit of this rugged land, offering a rare glimpse into one of Argentina’s best-kept vinous secrets.
