TACUIL DÁVALOS
Tacuil vineyards are amongst the highest in the world, located at 2,500 mts above sea level, and producing wines with truly unique characters and complexity.
Nestled deep within the remote Calchaquí Valley in Salta, Tacuil is a truly extraordinary place.
It's here that the Dávalos family discovered an ideal location for extreme winemaking, with an astonishing terroir perfectly suited for producing top quality high-altitude wines.
Raúl Dávalos Goytia, the fifth generation of winemakers, inherited this passion from his ancestors. In 1982, he decided to settle in the valley and take over the management of the winery.
With a bold vision, Raúl championed the concept of terroir and pioneered the production of high-altitude wines in Salta. He rejected the traditional oak ageing process, believing that Tacuil wines should showcase the grapes' unique character without the influence of wood.
This philosophy of winemaking has been passed down to the sixth generation of Dávalos winemakers, who continue to uphold their family's legacy.
