Wine tasting notes

The appellation line of Malbecs from Altos Las Hormigas highlights the different terroirs of Valle de Uco. In each area, ALH features a soil type and a specific climate, producing a wine that accentuates its origin with longevity and a signature texture. The limestone in Vista Flores brings out a distinctive muscular character, unique among Valle de Uco Malbecs. This luminous cherry colored Malbec with pink hues offers a delicate first nose of red currant, minty blackberry leaves and tenuous smoky notes. Aromas of passion fruit, accompanied by gentle white pepper complete its cheerful bouquet. This is confirmed on the palate in a light bodied, silky wine with very delicate tannins, along with mango and crunchy plum notes. On the finish, sweet spices and dried herbs linger with a fleshy, natural acidity.
