Discover the essence of high altitude wines.
About
The Llama
The Llama Wine is a project born in the north of Argentina, inspired by the wisdom of llamas, who teach us that perseverance is the path to achieving our goals.
Our handcrafted wines are made from the most emblematic grapes of Argentina, grown in high-altitude vineyards in the Valle de Cafayate, Salta Province. To preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit, our wines are crafted without oak intervention, highlighting the vibrant flavors that flourish in the far north of Argentina.
With optimal flavor concentration and bold, funky labels, The Llama is designed to captivate a new generation of wine enthusiasts.

Authenticity
& Origin
Grown at over 1,700 meters above sea level and close to the Tropic of Capricorn, The Llama Wines capture the essence of one of Argentina’s most exclusive wine regions—responsible for just 2% of the country’s total production. The combination of high altitude and low latitude in the Valle de Cafayate creates a singular microclimate: intense sunlight, wide temperature swings, and low humidity.
These conditions enhance the grapes’ natural acidity, flavor concentration, and aromatic complexity, while also offering a unique advantage in the face of climate change. The cooler temperatures at high altitudes help preserve the freshness and balance of the wines, making each bottle of The Llama a true expression of this rare terroir.
