The 2024 Malbec Reserve is drawn entirely from Jardín de Hormigas in Paraje Altamira, favoring parcels with more silt and calcareous stones than those that contribute to the Terroir Valle de Uco bottling. It was fermented with 30% whole bunches, soft extraction and matured for 15 months in concrete tanks. Fresh herbs, chaparral and crushed stone aromas ride over a bed of black fruits, introducing a fittingly deep and textural mouthfeel with a touch more richness than the rest of the roster. It concludes with the striking purity that defines the Altos Las Hormigas lineup, lingering with firm yet refined tannins and a sturdy core of minerality.

Varietal Malbec

The purple Malbec variety grapes which now grow all over the Old and New Worlds had their origins in France, where they are one of the few grape varieties allowed to be used in the highly esteemed blended wines of Bordeaux. However, it is perhaps the New World Malbec wines which have attracted the most attention in recent years, as they thrive in hot southern climates in ways they cannot in their native country, where the damp conditions leave them highly vulnerable to rot. Malbec grapes are renowned for their high tannin content, resulting in full-bodied red wines packed with ripe, plummy flavors and held in their characteristically dark, garnet colored liquid. In many countries, Malbec is still used primarily as a varietal for blending, as it adds a great level of richness and density to other, lighter and thinner varietals. However, single variety Malbec wines have been greatly on the rise in recent years, with some fantastic results and big, juicy flavors marking them out as a great wine for matching with a wide range of foods.

James Suckling

Expressive nose of crunchy red and blue fruit, violets, lavender and wild herbs. Very structured and tightly wound on the palate, with powerful fruit and stem tannins delivering nice austerity before a long, expressive finish. 15% whole clusters.

Vinous Media

The 2024 Malbec Reserve was made with up to 10% stems and aged for 15 months, with 25% in foudres and 75% in unlined concrete vats. A rich nose offers cherry, sour cherry, violet, blood orange and herbs ranging toward vermouth. The palate is slightly coarse with fine-grained tannins and a freshness that adds energy. A subtle herbal note stands out on the finish.

Winery Notes

This wine is deep ruby red in colour, with violet hues. On the nose, it is complex, expressive and aromatic with notes of plum, raspberries, chocolate and a touch of leather. This wine offers a strong, well-structured palate and a long, elegant finish.
