Quipus were recording devices used in the Inca Empire and its predecessor societies in the Andean region. A quipu usually consisted of colored spun and plied thread or strings from llama or alpaca hair. It could also be made of cotton cords. The cords contained numeric and other values encoded by knots in a base ten positional system. Quipus might have just a few or up to 2,000 cords.
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.
