Estate Malbec 2024
Trade Tools
Argentina / Mendoza
Alta Vista’s 516 acres of estate vineyards are situated in the best terroirs of Mendoza, at the foothills of Andes Mountain Range at 3,200 feet above sea level. Each vineyard receives expert treatment tailored to each individual grape variety via specific methods called Terroir Management®. The wine undergoes long pre- and post-fermentation macerations, to enhance aromatic expression and quality of the tannins.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was very sunny and dry, which allowed for healthy grapes with great ripeness and flavor concentration. The vintage brought balance and intensity on malbecs wines.
