Alta Vista’s Terroir Selection Malbec thoughtfully blends four estate vineyards in a unique proportion each vitnage. Albaneve and Temis, in different appellations within the Uco Valley, bring tension and structure, while Azamor and Alizarine in Luján de Cuyo bring richness and depth.

2023 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2023 vintage was marked by a mild spring and a warm, dry summer, which allowed for optimal ripeness and concentration of flavors. The yield was slightly lower than average, but the exceptional quality of the fruit more than compensated for the reduced volume. The vintage brought balance and intensity, landing among the best in recent years.
Tasting Note
Elegant and intense on the nose, an attack of black cherry aromas with fresh spice coming through, like thyme and cardamom. A hint of wood, cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate, fresh and lively, yet firm. Polished tannins, the final and perfect touch to this harmonious wine.
