Description

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