Argentine winemaker Michel Rolland's Bodega is certainly among the best known in the wine world. Michel Rolland is called in for advice by Arnaldo Etchart. So in 1988 he left France and arrived in Argentina, the Etchart winery located in the northwest of the country, in Cafayate and Salta, at an altitude of about 1,700 meters. The winemaker was immediately enraptured by this land and how well suited it was to producing excellent wines, poor, stony soils with a warm, semi-desert climate, an ideal habitat for producing great wines with low yields. Ten years later the Etchart winery was sold and the family purchased land in the Yacochuya area, with an old Malbec vineyard planted in 1915 at 2030 meters altitude. Rolland and Etchart formed a company together and thus began a new adventure.
