Altos Las Hormigas Appellation Paraje Altamira 2021 is a powerful, precise, and deeply mineral interpretation of the Paraje Altamira terroir. It comes from selected plots of the 100% organically certified Jardín de Hormigas vineyard. Fermented with native yeasts and aged with minimal intervention in concrete and untoasted oak foudres, this Malbec faithfully reflects the stony and calcareous character of its origin.
"Bright, vivid red in color, the nose reveals remarkable complexity: blueberries, cassis, cherry, jarilla, wet stone, violets, orange peel, and white pepper. On the palate, it has a leading entry, vibrant texture, elastic tannins, and an electric sensation. The finish is long, with persistent notes of fresh fruit, lime, and wild herbs. A wine with plenty of grip, depth, and tension—perfect for fans of the most precise and elegant high-altitude Malbec."
