Salta is one of Argentina’s oldest wine regions, dating back to the Spanish conquest. It has the highest vineyards in the world, up to 3,000 metres above sea level. And the region is very dry, relying on irrigation from Andean snowmelt. Unsurprisingly perhaps, just 1% of Argentina’s wine is made here. However, Salta’s grapes have unique, very pure and intense flavours, and that’s what lured Aussie winemaker Steve McEwen to the region. Here he fell in love with the vistas, the Torrontés grape and future wife Viviana, and stayed. This wine, crafted by Steve, has wonderfully fresh aromas of honeysuckle, spice and citrus fruits, and an exhilarating crisp finish. A refreshingly different aperitif and an inspired choice with spicy Eastern dishes.
