Salta Malbec and Torrontés from Argentina's high-altitude frontier.

Anko operates in Salta, Argentina's high-altitude wine region, where extreme diurnal temperature swings and mineral-rich soils shape distinctive varietal expression. The winery focuses on Malbec and Torrontés, grapes that thrive in Salta's demanding terroir. Flor de Cardon Malbec, the flagship red, demonstrates the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy wines. Torrontés, Argentina's signature white variety, yields aromatic, crisp wines suited to Salta's cool nights and intense sun. A second Malbec offering rounds out the portfolio. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated Anko's releases, with Flor de Cardon Malbec reaching 90 points and the Torrontés 88.5 points. The winery's selection reflects both the classical strengths of Salta Malbec and the region's emerging reputation for white wine quality.
