Altos Las Hormigas Malbec 2010/11 Luján De Cuyo
Tasting Notes:
Deep purple-red in colour with a youthful rim. On the nose it has perfumes of smoky cherries and a hint of violets with a touch of spice. Powerful and generous, it has a lovely structure, with smooth, ripe tannins, chunky autumnal fruit characters and a long finish.
Grape Variety: 100% Malbec
ABV: 14.3%
Country/Region: Argentina
Vintage: 2010
Alberto Antonini and his Tuscan friend, Antonio Morescalchi, were so impressed with the vineyards in the area around Mendoza, following their first trip to Argentina in 1995, that they persuaded a few friends to join with them in buying this estate. The vineyards and winery are situated in Luján de Cuyo, one of Mendoza’s premier vine growing areas. The estate covers 216 hectares, of which 40 were planted between 1996 and 1999. Altos Las Hormigas are known as Malbec specialists with a reputation as one of the countries top five producers of this variety, a fact which was recognised by the recent Decanter Gold medal for the Reserva 2007.
