El Porvenir de Cafayate is one of Salta's premium but very affordable, high altitude wine producers. This small, family-owned winery in Cafayate, specialises in Torrontes, Malbec, Tannat and red blends from 45-50 year old vineyards which are amongst the highest in the world at 1900m asl and surrounded by 20ft, 200+ year old monster cacti. Colour in the reds here is profound due to the exposure to prolonged mountain sunlight, with soft tannins thanks in part to the extreme diurnal temperature differences... some mornings the catcti are thick with frost but within a few hours temperatures soar to the mid/high 20s!

This wine is made from 100% Garnacha grapes from new vineyards planted in colluvial soil at the foot of the mountain at Finca Piedramonte.

Fermented with native yeasts with 25% whole cluster to enhance freshness and through carbonic maceration. It finished fermentation without skins to preserve its fruity expression and freshness.

Grilled or smoked salmon dishes, venison or a spicy curry
