Winemaker Notes

"Focused, streamlined wine, with raspberry, cassis, violet and mineral flavors. Long finish. Remarkably racy, considering the dense, ripe fruit, so this should flesh out. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. Drink now through 2005."
-Wine Spectator

Quimera is the search for the impossible: a perfect wine. It is a blended wine, based on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Malbec is given a predominant role to create a true " Mendoza , Argentina " identity. We source the grapes from estate vineyards and long-term leased vineyards, selected for the age of their plants, and the excellency of their terroir. The goal in each vineyard is not a stand-alone varietal, but rather a component of a blend. Quimera has been thought as a chef thinks a great dish. In this way, when the creative side of the winemaker is set free, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The ideal never is achieved. But the road is worth traveling.

Achával-Ferrer  Altamira Vineyard Winery Image

Founded in 1998, Achaval-Ferrer is a team of friends who dream about great wines. Achaval-Ferrer is also a collection of old vineyards in beautiful places. They are committed to the production of wines that are expressive of their terroir. They are a small winery because this is the key to top quality. Low yields allow the vineyards to express their personality in the grapes. Low intervention winemaking allows the grapes to fully express their vineyard in the bottle. Each of their wines is a different expresson of Malbec: The Mendoza Malbec is about varietal tipicity. Their Quimera blend is about Malbec as the key to complexity and balance. And their Fincas (Single Vineyards) are about how Malbec expresses different soils and microclimates.
