Description
With Finca Altamira our goal is to allow the vineyard to express its “terroir”. Malbec is the flagship red variety from Argentina. It has found in Mendoza its true home. We work as hard as necessary during eleven months in the vineyard, to produce grapes that will need very little intervention during the winemaking process. The climate, the viticultural program, the irrigation management: Everything is thought as a step towards the goal of true expression of the vineyard. Finca Altamira´s personality shines through the wine, vintage after vintage, with a recognizable and repeated signature. Winemaker: Roberto Cipresso, partner and winemaker of Achaval-Ferrer. Roberto is considered on of the most talented young Italian enologists by the specialized press

Region: New Cuyo - Mendoza Year of harvest: 2006 Aging: At dryness, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barrels, 100% new, where it was then aged for 13 months. Bottle capacity: 750.00 ml. Alcoholic graduation: 13.00 % pH: 3.70 Total acidity: 5.20 g/L Residual sugar: 1.46 g/L Harvest: Manual, on March 10, 2006 Vineyards: Old-vine Malbec, planted on its own roots, from the La Consulta regionof the Uco Valley, Mendoza. Total area of the vineyard: 14 acres.Altitude: 3400 feet (1050 mts) above sea level. The great age (morethan 80 years) of the plants balances the crop at the extremely lowyield of less than one pound of grapes per plant. (1/3 of a bottle ofwine) This is equivalent to 0.75 tons per acre, or 12 hectoliters perhectare. Fermentation: Fermentation took place in a small tank. Climate and soil: Thin sandy top-soil with round eroded rocks under that, some volcanic ash, very well drained. Vinification process: All our wines are bottled without fining or filtering. There isadditional risk in this, but we prefer not to stripe the wine of subtleflavors and aromas.
