Altura Máxima Malbec 2019 is an extraordinary wine that showcases the highest vineyard in the world, located at 3,111 meters above sea level in Payogasta, Calchaquí Valley, Salta. This iconic Malbec reflects the extreme conditions of its origin: intense solar radiation, wide thermal amplitude, rocky soils, and unique biodiversity. With only 0.5 hectares under production, this wine is made in extremely limited quantities, making it a true collector's gem.
“Intense ruby red in color, it offers a complex aromatic profile with notes of wild herbs, spices, black fruits, and violets. The palate is fresh and vertical, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Its texture is both powerful and elegant, revealing exceptional depth and a lingering mineral finish.”
