Finca Altamira:
We acquired this estate in 1995. It was a virgin forest with rocks up to 2 meters in diameter. Located at 1100 meters above sea level in the foothills, it is the last vineyard before reaching the mountain. On these 15 hectares, we produce Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay using biodynamic farming methods . The soil is of calcareous alluvial origin, and the vines are 15 years old.
Winemaking: Harvest: by hand. Cold maceration: 3 days at 10º. Fermentation: with indigenous yeasts for 15 days between 24º and 30º. Malolactic fermentation: 100%.
Aging: in concrete tanks for 12 months.
Tasting notes: The cool year has allowed this wine to undergo a stylistic shift, giving it a vibrancy and energy it previously lacked. Finca Suarez will not be producing Gran Malbec with the 2016 grapes due to their high concentration. Therefore, all the best of this year's wine has gone into this Malbec, and it's evident in the red fruit, acidity, and abundant floral notes.
