Product description
The true expression of terroir in this Malbec comes from the extreme altitude at which the vineyard sits. It receives much more sun, and much less UV protection, producing thicker-skinned grapes that deliver a more robust mouthfeel supported by fresh acidity.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The latest vintages of the highest-altitude wine in the world are wilder and riper than the initial 2012 and 2013. The 2017 Altura Maxima Malbec has aromas of malted cereals, peat, black olives and boiled vegetables with a touch of rusticity. With time, it develops notes of soy sauce and dried tomatoes. After all, that's the wild character of the high-altitude Salta vineyards.
