El Esteco

Among the Calchaqui Valley's lush vegetation, rivers and rocky mountains, there emerges, unexpectedly, a stretch of desert. At an altitude of 1,800 metres, with its radiant sunshine and ideal temperature ranging from hot days to cool nights, the environment is perfect for vine growing. It is here, in the heart of this unique valley, where El Esteco stands. French immigrants David and Salvador Michel founded the winery in 1892, taking advantage of this special region to produce distinctive and elegant high-end wines, with great concentration of colour, deep aromas and well-defined flavours.
