Altos Las Hormigas Tinto

Tasting Notes

The Altos Las Hormigas Tinto is an exceptionally vibrant and distinctive red blend from Mendoza, Argentina, that consciously moves away from the typical heavy, oak-driven style of the region. The blend is a modern interpretation of an old-world tradition, primarily featuring Malbec and the high-acid Bonarda, with a touch of the white grape Semillon included specifically to enhance the aromatic complexity and lift the wine’s freshness. The resulting wine is bright ruby red in color and offers alluring aromas of ripe red fruits, predominantly raspberry and cherry, complemented by fascinating herbal notes, pink pepper, and a subtle suggestion of fresh tangerine rind. It is vinified and aged entirely in concrete vats, resulting in a medium-bodied palate that is juicy, finely textured, and characterized by a pure, clean finish that maintains a beautiful, refreshing acidity.
