Score: 91 pts Tim Atkin, MW

Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Clásico Orgánico 2022 is a modern, juicy, and straightforward expression of Mendoza Malbec, made entirely from certified organic grapes sourced from Luján de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira. With no oak influence, this wine clearly expresses fruit, soil, and vintage character, guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention in both vineyard and winery.

"Ruby-red incolour with reddish hues, the nose offers intense notes of plum, damp forest floor, gunpowder, black pepper, eucalyptus, and pink peppercorn. On the palate, it delivers a fresh entry, fine acidity, and well-integrated tannins. Its medium structure and fruit-driven profile make it ideal for everyday enjoyment and versatile at the table."
