About the wine

The Bodegas Callia - was created in 2003 when the Salentein Family of Wines group bought a small winery with its Syrah vineyards, which Carlos Pulenta built in the 1990s where the Tulum Valley borders the desert; at the foot of the Sierra Pie de Palo at 650 meters above sea level in the province of San Juan. San Juan is the land of Syrah in Argentina. Of the 182 hectares that Pulenta had planted, 124 hectares consist of Syrah vines. There are four different Syrah clones in this vineyard alone, all unrefined. Grapes from a new 28-ha vineyard, which is located at an enormous 1400 meters above sea level, are also used. The impressive new winery building, designed by the well-known architects Bórmida y Yanzón, was built over the small old winery so that the old cement/epoxy fermentation tanks could be used. The winery is equipped with cutting-edge technology.
