Camino del Inca is a new project between Bodega El Porvenir (one of Salta's most respected wineries) and Vino del Sol. Salta is a vital and unique Argentine winegrowing region, and we believe Camino del Inca is the best representative of this exciting place.

The Southern part of the Inca civilization once ruled where Camino del Inca's estate vineyards are now located in Cafayate, Salta. Salta is in the extreme northwest of Argentina and boasts the highest vineyards in the world (over 6,000 feet above sea level), which results in a day-to-night temperature difference of over 50F, creating extremely concentrated and flavorful grapes. The unique terroir is high desert with poor, sandy soils, perfect for growing Tannat, Malbec, Syrah and Torrontés. The winemakers are Paul Hobbs and Luis Asmet, the vineyard manager is Marcelo Casazza, and the owners and managers are the Romero family.

Camino del Inca "Quipu Blend" Just as the Incas wove their intricate histories into the quipu, so our winemaker has crafted a stunning, complex wine that exemplifies the terroir of Salta. This blend of 70% Tannat, 20% Malbec and 10% Syrah combines the intense body of the Tannat with the rich fruit and violet flavors of the Malbec and the spice and leather aromas of the Syrah. Only 1,344 bottles produced. A Vino del Sol “Selección Limitada” 93 points, Wilfred Wong: “An incredible red, the alluring '07 Camino del Inca Quipu Blend shows power and class on the palate; ripe fruit with an accent of violets."
