Agustín Lanús About Agustin Lanús Argentine winemaker Agustin Lanus is an Agricultural Engineer, Sommelier and Master of Science in Viticulture and Oenology from the highly respected Vinifera EuroMaster program, completing his studies in Montpellier and Bordeaux, France and in Asti, Italy. Before and after completing his master’s degree in Europe’s most prestigious winemaking program Agustin worked in wineries around the world, including Ceretto, Alba, Italy; Chateau Beychevelle, Bordeaux, France; Rutini, Tupungato, Argentina; Bodega Burdigala, Toro, Spain; Lurton, Douro, Portugal; KWV, Paarl, South Africa. In 2006 Agustin traveled to the upper Calchaqui Valley Argentina for the first time with the specific goal of learning more about the unique micro-terroirs found at extreme altitudes. Since then he has produced wine, as well as helped develop and manage vineyards, in all the three of the provinces which touch the Valley: Salta, Tucuman and Santa Maria. Today Agustin lives with his family in the fast growing wine producing town of Cafayate, Salta Province, headquarters of Agustin Lanus Wines and Bad Brothers Wine Experience, our popular wine bar and restaurant.

This is a very small vintage you won’t want to miss. Grape Variety: 100% Malbec Number of bottles: Extremely limited, 5,000 bottles. Vineyards: For SUNAL ICONO wine-maker Agustin Lanus worked with grapes sourced from four small extreme altitude vineyards, located in three provinces that make up the Calchaqui Valley, Argentina: Salta, Tucuman and Catamarca provinces. The vineyards are located between 2,200 meters and 2,700 meters, making them among the highest in the world. Elaboration: The grapes are hand-harvested and the wine made using 100% native yeast, cold pre-fermentation for 5 days, soft maceration of 30 days in total, natural malolactic fermentation. Aging: The wine is aged for 24 months in a mix of French oak, 50% new and 50% neutral used barrels. After bottled unfined and unfiltered have been ages for 15 months. Tasting Notes: The ultra-premium SUNAL Malbec wine is made from grapes grown at the very limits of where grapes can be grown. The length of time required for grapes to mature at such extreme altitudes results in thick skins and very low yields, allowing the winemaker to produce an incredibly complex and full-bodied wine. The color is a rich purple, with the nose dominated by balsamic notes and black fruits with floral scents and a long finish.

Located at 2400 masl in the Calchaquí Valley, Salta Province, Argentina, the vineyard selected for inclusion in our 2018 Salvaje release is one of the highest in the world.

This is a wine that demands to be shared with friends and family over a hearty meal, and to celebrate great moments. Grape Variety: 100% Malbec, 2018 vintage Number of bottles: Extremely limited, 3,000 bottles. Vineyard: Single vineyard located at 2,400 masl in Angastaco, Salta Province.

Aging: One year in concrete eggs with no oak. Tasting Notes: Sunal SALVAJE 2400 m.a.sl. wine draws attention with a deep black color that darkens the glass. In the mouth, cranberry and raspberry is prominent, as well as beets and fig jam. The palate has a large volume with juicy and silky tannins. Pure fruit and expression of terroir, without wood.

  • El Lago Cuaternario De Angastaco, Valle Calchaquí, Salta
    Revista de la Asociación Geológica Argentina, 59 (2): 312-316 (2004) El lago cuaternario de Angastaco, Valle Calchaquí, Salta J. A. SALFITY1, E.F. GALLARDO2, J.E. SASTRE1 y J. ESTEBAN2 1Universidad Nacional de Salta-Conicet, Buenos Aires 177, 4400 Salta. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2Universidad Nacional de Salta, Buenos Aires 177, 4400 Salta. E-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN. Se comprobó la existencia de registros de un lago de edad cuaternaria en el tramo central del Valle Calchaquí, latitud de Angastaco, cuya presa se formó como consecuencia del plegamiento de potentes sucesiones continentales de cuenca de antepaís acumuladas durante el Neógeno (Grupo Payogastilla). El plegamiento, atribuido a la orogenia Diaguita (datada como posterior a 1,3 Ma en una comarca cercana), fue a su vez una consecuencia de la reactivación del borde tectónico del occidente de la cuenca cretácica de rift del Grupo Salta. La forma del lago fue alargada en el sentido nornoroeste, similar a la actual traza del río Calchaquí al norte de Angastaco. El sistema lacustre originó sedimentos acumulados en discordancia angular sobre los depósitos neógenos plegados y fueron cubiertos mediante una notable discontinuidad por depósitos fluviales y de pie de monte de gruesa granulometría. Los depósitos lacustres limoarcillosos, de por lo menos 25 m de potencia, muestran evidentes interdigitaciones laterales de facies con estratos fluviales contemporáneos procedentes de afluentes de la cuenca lacustre desde el este y desde el oeste. Aún no se cuenta con información fehaciente que precise la edad de este episodio lacustre durante el Cuaternario, aunque es seguro que aconteció con posterioridad al plegamiento del Grupo Payogastilla.

  • THE ANDEAN NORTHWEST T E N a L 243 P Y L E N O L
    © Lonely Planet 243 The Andean Northwest In stark contrast with the low, flat, humid northeast, Argentina’s northwest sits lofty, dry and tough beneath the mighty Andes. Nature works its magic here with stone: weird, wonderful and tortured rockscapes are visible throughout, from the imposing formations of the Parque Nacional Talampaya in the far south to the twisted strata of the Quebrada de Cafayate; from the jagged ruggedness of the Valles Calchaquíes to the palette of colors of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. And always to the west is the brooding presence of magnificent peaks. The area has an Andean feel with its traditional handicrafts, Quechua-speaking pockets, coca leaves, llamas, the indigenous heritage of the inhabitants, Inca ruins, and the high, arid puna (Andean highlands) stretching west to Chile and north to Bolivia. The region’s cities were Argentina’s first colonial settlements and have a special appeal. The quiet gentility of Santiago del Estero recalls bygone centuries, Salta’s beauty makes it a favorite stop for travelers, while resolutely urban Tucumán, a sugarcane capital, seems to look firmly to the future. Several popular routes await. From Salta you can take in the cactus sentinels of Parque Nacional Los Cardones on your way to gorgeous Cachi, and then head down through the tradi- tional weaving communities of the Valles Calchaquíes to Cafayate, home of some of Argentina’s best wines. Another route from Salta soars into the mountains to the puna mining settlement of San Antonio de los Cobres, heads north to the spectacular salt plains of the Salinas Grandes, and then down to the visually wondrous and history-filled Quebrada de Humahuaca.

  • Historiando Cerros En La Comunidad Diaguita-Calchaquí “El Divisadero”, Cafayate, Salta
    Historiando cerros en la comunidad diaguita-calchaquí “El Divisadero”, Cafayate, Salta. Avances de una investigación sobre trayectorias históricas y representaciones territoriales María Camila Cerra** Resumen En este artículo se presentarán los avances de una investigación doctoral sobre la comunidad diaguita-calchaquí “El Divisadero”(Cafayate, Salta). De manera general, se describirán los resultados entre los cuales se especificará una reconstrucción histó- rica a partir de hitos, y luego se desarrollará con mayor profundidad uno de ellos. En este caso se expondrá la ubicación de las familias en la década del ochenta, sus migraciones y sus procedencias en el valle calchaquí. La metodología es una propuesta de historia regresiva que se construye desde la intersección entre la historia y la antropología. Desde los inicios del proyecto, en 2009, se ha desarrollado trabajo de archivo y de campo con el objetivo de realizar una reconstrucción histórica. Particularmente para el hito histórico de la década del ochenta, se utilizaron fuentes muy variadas; desde materiales académicos, protocolos notariales y catastros, hasta registros etnográficos donde se señalan los testimonios de los integrantes de la comunidad. Por lo tanto, historiar los cerros tiene que ver con las representaciones territoriales, con las formas de subsistencia y las relaciones entre las familias. Palabras clave: Trayectorias históricas – Localización – Comunidad diaguita – Representaciones territoriales – Identidades * Investigación doctoral realizada con beca UBA-CONICET.

  • Abras Presentation 2021
    Our story Winemaker Karim Mussi is permanently searching for unique terroir expressions. Abras is the first chapter of a long story that began when he fell in love with Cafayate, a high altitude desert in Salta at 1,750 m.a.s.l In the same way the Incas used the Abras as roads to navigate the Andes mountains, we use this magical location to access the beautiful wine world of the Calchaquí Valley. Our Vineyards SALTA The vineyards are located in Cafayate, a high altitude desert in Salta at 1,750 m.a.s.l which is reknown for it amazing Torrontés, and also great Malbecs. We source fruit from vines that are more than 30 years old, planted on alluvial soils at the bottom of the valley. ARGENTINA SALTA CAFAYATE SALTA / ARGENTINA Abras are the natural trails or gates that allowed the local “Calchaquí” natives and later, the Incas to connect their vast empire. For them, Abras were a blessing from the “Pacha Mama” to which they would leave offerings. Those Abras permitted to create a famous route, that the Spaniard conquerors used to connect Lima, their capital city, with the port of Buenos Aires and also, to transport many natural resources through what they called “Camino Real”. This wine is our “offering” to those who appreciate this royal expression and unique beauty, combining different varietals from this blessed area, to obtain the epitome expression of the Valley. Country Winemaking Argentina Fermented in stainless steel tanks Region Tasting note Cafayate, Salta This Torrontés is spicy and floral, ripe without excess with a powerful and aromatic palate Grape varieties where the spiciness is very obvious.
