This wine is the best expression of our terroirin Altamira, where you can perceive the typical style of this place in the Uco Valley. Its design is born after a selection of micro terroirswithin the vineyards, segmented in blocks by their different soil profiles. A minimal intervention in vineyrad and winery, allows us to obtain a pure, organic and classic Altamira wine.

WINE-MAKING

Cool maceration during 5 days. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 24-26°C for 14 days. 16 months in 5.000 lts. french oak fudres and in 3.000 lts. Concrete eggs.

TASTING NOTES

Intense purple red color, with aromas of black cherry and flowers like violet. Fresh, vibrant entrance, due to its natural acidity and the minerality provided by the Altamira terroir. In the mouth it is juicy, of good structure and volumen with a long, tense and vibrant end.
