De Los Andes

2009 Mendoza Malbec

Altamira De Los Andes 2009 is a stunning representation of Mendoza's signature varietal, Malbec. This red wine showcases a medium-to-full body, giving it a rich and satisfying mouthfeel that envelopes the palate. With its vibrant acidity, it presents a delightful balance that enhances its food-friendly nature. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and a hint of cocoa that create an inviting aromatic profile. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, contributing to the wine's structure and longevity without overwhelming the enjoyment of each sip. Dry in style, this wine is an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own, reflecting the expressive terroir of Mendoza.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
