The Chanar Punco is a special wine from El Esteco, named after the tiny site high up in the Calchaqui valley. A Field-blend. The grapes are selected, regardless their variety, with a view to capturing the nature of the few vineyards growing on the unusual terroir above 2,400 meters (7,800 feet) high. Chañar Punco is the gem of our terroirs.

Rich, dark violet in color with a nose of dark chocolate, berry, plum and herb. Explosively rich on the palate with long, structured tannins.

Creme de la Creme from the El Esteco Estate. Stunning just stunning.

Order 4 x Bottles and the wine comes presented in wooden case.

There are few places on earth where magic really happens and the Calchaqui Valley, home of El Esteco Winery, is certainly one of them. El Esteco today has nearly 1,000 acres of vineyards producing unique, yet world recognised, stunning wines.

Fruit from vineyards throughout the Estate goes into this, the Estate wine. French oak barrels for 12 months. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined. Then is kept at the winery for a further 6 months before release. 

Aromas of super ripe berries, Raisins, Coffee and a herbaceous edge. Mature and vibrant tannins and a palate packed full of dark fruits, Long-lasting and elegant finish.

This wine just oozes quality....ageing potential up to 10years from vintage.
