Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira
Discover the exquisitely crafted Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira, a true testament to the artistry of Argentine winemaking. This exceptional red wine embodies the spirit and tradition of the Mendoza region, where the grapes are carefully cultivated in the prestigious Uco Valley.
Crafted with precision and passion, each bottle of Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira reflects the unique terroir and microclimates of the Altamira vineyard. This singular vineyard is located at an elevation of 1,050 meters above sea level, where the vines are blessed with abundant sunshine, cool temperatures, and optimal diurnal temperature variations. These ideal conditions lend themselves to the development of complex and expressive flavors in the grapes.
The 100% Malbec grapes used to craft Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira are hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, ensuring only the finest quality fruit is selected. The grapes undergo a careful sorting process to remove any imperfections, guaranteeing that only the best grapes make it into the wine.
Once in the cellar, the grapes are gently destemmed and fermented in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This approach allows for maximum flavor extraction while preserving the elegance and finesse of the wine. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in French oak barrels for 15-18 months, adding depth and nuance to the final blend.
In the glass, the Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira displays a deep, vibrant ruby color that hints at the intensity of flavors to come. On the nose, it offers a kaleidoscope of aromas, with ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plum intermingling with hints of toasted oak, spice, and earthy undertones.
The palate is a revelation of concentrated fruit flavors, with blackberries, blueberries, and plums taking center stage. Silky smooth tannins provide structure and balance, while a touch of acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The long, lingering finish leaves a lasting impression, with echoes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and vanilla.
Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira is a wine to be savored and enjoyed on special occasions or to elevate everyday moments. Whether accompanying a richly flavored steak, roasted lamb, or a selection of aged cheeses, this wine will enhance any dining experience and leave a lasting impression on your taste buds.
Indulge in the timeless beauty and complexity of Achaval Ferrer Finca Altamira, a bold expression of Argentine winemaking that captures the essence of the magnificent Mendoza region.
