Domingo Molina, a family winery in the heights

This winery is located in North Yacochuya, in Cafayate, in the Calchaquí Valleys, in the province of Salta. Endowed with a solid professional background and a vast experience in viticulture, the Domingo brothers, Osvaldo, Gabriel and Rafael, have successfully put together the pecularities of altitude grapes and the latest technology and facilities.

Ranging from 1,600 to 2,300 metres above sea level, the sixty-hectare vineyards boast a special microclimate with more than 300 sunny days, scarce rainfall, and a wide temperature range, all of which allow for excellent grape growing conditions.

1,700 metres above sea level, in the deep sandy soils of the Cafayate Valley, the Torrontés from Domingo Molina is grown. Sunlight reflects on the sand and helps ripen the grapes, which now develop all their typical features. Constant gentle breezes blow, guaranteeing the health of the grapes, and their fresh, elegant aromas.  

Domingo Molina has also vineyards in the Rupestre Valley, 55 kms north of the Cafayate Valley (Route #40), in the district of San Carlos. It is a desert-like region, surrounded by colourful mountains and green carob trees, where only the whistling wind breaks the arid silence. Such a magic place has been turned into fertile land. Special irrigation systems allowed water from the mountains to reach and water the first vineyards in the region. Being at 2,300 m above sea level, these are considered to be the highest vineyards in the world.

Torrontes, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat are some of the varieties that are grown respecting the ecological identity and personality of the terroirs. The wines obtained from these grapes display all the typical qualities of the region in their intense aromas and flavours, complex body, good structure and balance.
