Alto de Mayo takes it's name from an Argentine mountain, and it also signifies the end of the grape harvest. This is a great value smooth Malbec from Mendoza, packed with cherry and plum fruit, perfect for enjoying anytime. Mendoza is famed as one of the best and most innovative wine producers in the world, especially when it comes to red wines! The region's close proximity to the Andes mountain range means that vineyards are often situated at high altitude. Here, warm, sunny summers and cool winters create ideal growing conditions for Malbec, which thrive in this region. The altitude allows the grapes more time to ripen, encouraging fresh and elegant wines with excellent depth of flavour.
