Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Clásico 2023 is a Malbec from Mendoza in Argentina. This wine uses fruit from various sites across the Uco Valley, but it is the producer`s focus on the fresh, fruit-forward style that defines the release. Known for their work in the high-altitude zones, Altos Las Hormigas has shifted away from the heavy oak regimes of the past to produce a Malbec of purity. The palate is accessible, with soft tannins and a bright, juicy acidity, making it a perfect example of modern, vineyard-focused Malbec that prioritises drinkability and character over sheer power.
