Product Details

Tasting Notes

Altamira is a mountain region with an extreme climate. The growing conditions are so challenging and the soil profile so unique that the typicity of this Malbec transcends its typical descriptors. Orange peel and balsamic flavors blend harmoniously with the violet and red fruit notes characteristic of Malbec. Mineral notes and a marked acidity give this wine a unique identity.

Winemaking

Several daily open pump-overs with gentle spraying onto the cap are followed by a gentle pressing at the end, determined by the results of daily tastings. Throughout this process, there is no filtration, no cold pre-fermentation maceration, no correction of the grapes' natural acidity, no bleeding during fermentation, and no enzymes of any kind are added during vinification.
