2018 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec “Terroir,” Valle de Uco, Argentina

A fresh Uco Valley Malbec from the altitude of the Andes mountains. It is aged for 18 months in concrete pools (75% of the wine) and untoasted large oak foudres (25% of the wine). Aged for 6 months in the bottle before release. It shows an aromatic herb perfume along with impressive violet aromas. This is a juicy and intense wine, with notes of youthful plum and blueberry fruit. It has a great grip on the palate, with layered tannins and a balanced, long finish. Ideal to pair with Mediterranean cuisine and red meats.
