Altamira vineyard was planted in 1950 at the foothill of the Andes just below the Tunuyán River, Altamira is mountain with extreme weather. The growing conditions are so challenging and the soil profile so unique, that the typicity or this Malbec goes beyond its normal descriptors. Orange peel and balsamic flavours combine harmoniously the violets and red fruit notes typical from Malbec. Mineral notes and sharp acidity give this wine a character of its own.

Achaval-Ferrer has one single passion: to craft world-class, terroir-driven red wines from Argentina. Achaval-Ferrer produces the most critically acclaimed Malbecs from Mendoza, sourced from single vineyards with low yielding, old ungrafted vines.

"Beautiful purity of fruit here with blackberries, black cherries and violet undertones. Full-bodied with layers of fruit, fine tannins and a flavourful finish. Juicy and creamy at the same time. Delicious now, but better after 2023. 97 points."
