Altos Las Hormigas Description

Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Viña Hormigas Reserva is a premium wine that showcases the finest characteristics of Argentine Malbec. Sourced from the exceptional vineyards of Uco Valley in Mendoza, this 2020 vintage is the result of a perfect combination of skillful winemaking, sustainable practices, and the unique terroir of the region. Aged for 18 months in 3,500-liter untoasted oak foudres, the wine offers a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity, ensuring a delightful tasting experience.

The Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Viña Hormigas Reserva boasts a deep and intense violet hue, indicative of its rich and concentrated flavors. The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of violet and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that perfectly complements its fruit-forward profile. The long, elegant finish leaves you with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a touch of minerality, a testament to the expressive terroir of the Uco Valley.

The bold flavors and robust structure of the Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Viña Hormigas Reserva make it an ideal partner for a variety of dishes. Pair this exceptional wine with grilled or roasted meats, such as beef, lamb, or pork, to enhance the savory flavors of your meal. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with rich, umami-driven dishes like mushroom risotto or eggplant parmigiana. The wine's vibrant acidity also makes it a suitable companion for slightly spicy fare, such as Argentine empanadas or Mexican mole.

Wine Advocate: 93 Points

It has ripeness without excess and varietal aromas of violet, iron and blood with an earthy touch and the chalky minerality in the texture. 2020 was a warm and dry vintage, and the wine manages to keep the poise and has the complexity of the noble origin

James Suckling: 93 Points

Fresh and racy, but also deep, with soft-spoken complexity, delineating baked licorice, black cherries and blueberries. Some chalky raspberries, too. Just medium-to full-bodied with a beautiful delivery of tannins. Polished and compact.
