the wine

Paraje Altamira is one of the Uco Valley's benchmark addresses, and Altos Las Hormigas farms it for grace rather than muscle. This is a juicy, vertical Malbec with a chalky spine and a long, mouthwatering finish. Serious wine that still knows how to be a pleasure.

tasting notes
Deep ruby with violet hues. Intense and elegant, with black fruit, cassis and plum, herbal eucalyptus, and chalk and orange peel as it opens. Juicy, fresh and vertical, with great texture and a long, velvety finish.
