Terrior

2010 Mendoza Malbec

Altos Las Hormigas Terroir 2010 is a remarkable representation of Mendoza's esteemed Malbec. This red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile with a high level of acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, highlighting luscious notes of ripe blackberries and plums, perfectly complemented by subtle hints of violet and baking spices. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm foundation while imparting a sense of elegance to the wine. Dry yet wonderfully balanced, Altos Las Hormigas Terroir is not only a delightful accompaniment to hearty dishes but also a stunning standalone sipper that reflects the character of its region.

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.
