The season began with a fresh and dry spring that favored good fruit set in the vines. During summer, temperatures were moderate, and in February and March – the months in which we pick up the grapes – we had bouts of rain. By the end of the season, rains lowered and temperatures were not very high; these last days were warm and stable, keeping the grapes turgid and avoiding over-ripeness. These conditions produced very fresh, highly aromatic wines, with intense colors, elegant tannins, and a great structure. Overall an excellent vintage for Altos Las Hormigas.

This is a vibrant Malbec, with a lively bright purple color. Bold aromas fill the nose, with notes of plums, spices, herbs and mint. Fresh fruit in the mouth, with good grip and balanced acidity. It is a vertical wine, tasty and juicy, with friendly tannins. A modern expression of Malbec, made with 100% organic grapes.
