Winemaker Notes
Alto is the quintessence of the best terroirs of
Argentina. Deep ruby-red in color with complex aromas of black fruit, spice and hints
of chocolate. On the palate it is elegant and full-bodied with silky tannins
and a long, intense finish. Alto is a rich, complex and sensual wine with an
excellent aging potential of 10-15 years.
Professional Ratings
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
