ALTOS LAS HORMIGAS MALBEC TERROIR UCO VALLEY 2018 RED 750ML

This is a Malbec from the series of Altos Las Hormigas that they call Terroir, because they want to show the idiosyncrasies of a particular area, here the Uco Valley. On the other hand, it is not wine from one vineyard, but from about ten vines that ALH’s team found to be related to their soils. Here are the first wines to see oak, since 25% of these wines are aged in large, neutral barrels and the rest in cement, for 6 months. A wine of breathtaking texture and vitality. Most years alcohol does not exceed 13.5%, which is rare for the Malbec, Argentina.
