Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Single-vineyard Malbec from Finca Altamira in the Uco Valley, high-altitude ground on sandy alluvial soils planted to old vines. Altitude is what shapes it: the cool nights hold the acidity and the floral lift, so the wine arrives dense and dark — blackberry, black plum, violet, graphite — without the heaviness Malbec can fall into at lower elevations. Firm, fine-grained tannins give it a long frame, and it needs time to unwind rather than opening on release.
