The powerful counterpart to Altos las Hormigas's Altamira bottling, from the buzzy high-altitude district of Gualtallary. The vineyard sits even higher, around 1,300 meters, on limestone-rich soils where Altos has farmed since 2011 with terroir guru Pedro Parra. Where Altamira is elegant and perfumed, Gualtallary is rounder and more concentrated, with great depth and that chalky, high-mountain tension. Aged in concrete and large neutral oak so the site speaks clearly. A compelling lesson in how much a few hundred meters and a different soil can change Malbec.
