Nose

It shows the purity of fresh red fruits, rose petals and delicate spices in the aromatic profile.

Palate

It is a tasty wine, with a soft mouth and firm tannins, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in concrete vats to preserve its integrity and the intense flavor of the fruit.

Growing Conditions

Grapes from 100% high-density organic vineyards in our Luján de Cuyo estate. The preparation of the soil included the addition of hummus, along with water management and organic coverage from day one, aiming for the roots to develop deep into the soil; a key factor
to obtain wines with good quality and natural freshness, especially in warm climates.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand and enter the winery transferred by gravity to concrete vats,
where the fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts at temperatures between 24ºC-28ºC. This process lasts approximately 12 days.

Aging

The aging takes place in concrete vats, for a period of 6 months.

More from this Producer

Altos Las HormigasTinto

Our continuous search for the expression of Mendoza’s true identity in our wines has led us to elaborate, for the first time, a blend of three grapes: Malbec, Bonarda and Semillon. These three varieties are recognized by the Argentine wine community for their long history in the region and we believe they are now authentic Mendoza grapes.

Altos Las HormigasTerroir Uco Valley

Coming from a careful selection of grapes from the oldest geological part of the Uco Valley, this Malbec is all about freshness from the altitude of the Andes. This mountain region is an amazing Terroir; early harvest and an appropriate soil unit selection are crucial to make it shine.

Altos Las HormigasReserve

Made with selected grapes from vineyards located in the highlands of the Uco Valley; the vines are rooted in limestone soils that grant this Malbec its mineral notes. A wine that you will better enjoy if you give it a moment of attention: deep and bright, powerful and delicate.

Altos Las HormigasMalbec Terroir Lujan de Cuyo

This Malbec comes from an organic vineyard with limestone soils, seeking to show a different expression of the traditional Lujan de Cuyo area as well as preserving the typical characteristics of the wines coming from this wine region.

Altos Las HormigasAppellation Paraje Altamira

This Paraje Altamira Malbec shows the tension and subtlety that only great wines coming from this appellation can achieve. It is a wine where patience is rewarded by the different nuances that are displayed in the glass.

Altos Las HormigasBlanco

Altos Las Hormigas’ first white wine is a fresh blend of Semillon and Chenin Blanc, two traditional varieties from Mendoza’s Terroir. The elaboration process is inspired by old traditions, using stems and fermentation with skins, while aiming to achieve a clean and pure wine.
