Altos Las Hormigas Jardín de Hormigas Meteora Malbec 2021 is a precise, vibrant and deeply expressive interpretation of the Paraje Altamira terroir. Born from the idea of creating a more accessible expression of the complex Jardín de Hormigas vineyard, this wine exceeded the winemaking team’s expectations, offering remarkable depth with minimal intervention.
"Light ruby red in color with violet hues, the nose opens with a subtle reductive character showing gunpowder and graphite. Red cherry, sour cherry, violet, chamomile, and Andean herbs follow. The palate is tense and electric, with fine-grained tannins and a flexible, energetic texture. It flows vertically across the palate with concentration and persistence, finishing with mineral and floral notes."
