    Incisive, fresh and chalky Malbec from Mendoza

    "Meteora captures the vibrant character of Paraje Altamira. Fermented and aged for 15 months in concrete, with 15% whole bunches, it reveals a limestone-driven expression with violets, sour cherry, blue fruit, herbs and a mineral thread. The palate is incisive and chalky, with acidity that keeps it electric. A contemporary Malbec that favours energy over opulence."

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Friends and business partners Alberto Antonini and Antonio Morescalchi first visited Mendoza in 1995 and were instantly impressed by the vineyards they discovered. Nearly three decades later, the estate they founded, Altos Las Hormigas, has gone from being a youthful dream to one of the country’s leading producers. Grapes were sourced from four different plots in the Jardín Altamira vineyard, located in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley. This vineyard is planted at 1,200 metres above sea level, and has a diverse range of soil profiles, created by river currents.
