Altos las Hormigas, Malbec 'Lujan de Cuyo - Terroir', 2023
The classic-Malbec-zone bottling in the Altos las Hormigas terroir lineup. Lujan de Cuyo is Mendoza's historic Malbec heartland, and this comes from organic vineyards planted on limestone, a deliberate point of difference from the area's typical alluvial-and-clay soils that tend to make bolder, broader wines. That chalk gives finer tannins and lift. The 2023 was hand-harvested, gravity-fed into small concrete tanks, fermented with native yeasts, and aged 18 months in concrete pools and untoasted oak foudres, so it stays fruit-pure and elegant rather than heavy. An approachable, food-friendly entry into a serious terroir project.
