Achaval Ferrer

From a very old vineyard in the northwest of Altamira, planted in 1925, just east of the Tunuyán River. This is the first of the Fincas de Achával Ferrer series, with its inaugural vintage in 1999. And since then it has maintained a style that has a lot to do with the muscularity of its tannins. An imposing red that, in a cool year like 2021, does not seem to have changed in personality. It still has that structure that makes the wine seem opulent and full of ripeness. And it has a major space for acidity, which is also a hallmark of this classic on the Argentine scene.

The winery's Finca series showcases wines that present a true expression of their place of origin. Coming from old vineyards in Paraje Altamira, this Malbec has the tension of wines from this region. Cranberries and mulberries on the nose introduce fleshy plums and blackberries on the ripe palate. The long list of flavors includes balanced notes of chocolate, rosemary and thyme. Drink now–2034.
