The small vineyard of Villa del Cielo, planted in 2014, promoted a new project that gave rise to Huichaira Vineyard (@huichairavineyard ) in 2016, today our main vineyard located in the town of Huichaira, just 5 km from the city of Tilcara . In 2018, Cielo Arriba, our first wine, was born by the renowned Mendocino winemaker Alejandro “colo” Sejanovich.
Huichaira vineyard was formerly called by the neighbors, “Sun of the morning” since its north orientation allows the sun to illuminate it for almost the entire day, something very beneficial for the quality of the vine added to the thermal amplitude due to the extreme altitude of 2710 meters above sea level.
The Quebrada de Humahuaca captivates with its small valleys between majestic mountains of different shapes and colors, in addition to its friendly, hard-working people with an ancient culture. All of this is reflected in our wine.
Today the wines of Jujuy and particularly of the Quebrada de Humahuaca are recognized by important critics and by the national and international market, which places us well positioned on the map of Argentine wine.
