Awards & Accolades

"The 2019 Malbec Appellation Gualtallary comes from specific soils, two small three-hectare plots in the Cerros del Jaboncillo, where they find more caliche and limestone in Tupungato Winelands. They believe this place transmits the maximum expression of limestone to Malbec, giving a structured wine with fine-grained tannins with the wilderness from Gualtallary. It fermented in small concrete vats with indigenous yeasts at some 26 degrees Celsius for 20 days. Eighty-five percent of the volume matured in untoasted 3,500-liter French oak foudres for 20 months while the rest was kept in concrete. They sell it a little later than the Altamira because they feel Gualtallary needs a little more time in bottle; therefore, they are now offering the 2019 vintage, a very balanced wine that talks about the place where it was born. This is vibrant and expressive, with a complex nose and especially a lively palate with effervescent acidity and very fine-boned with elegant but firm tannins (they say "Serralunga-like" tannins). I find the recurring iron-like note of blood and fresh meat here too, intermixed with the wild flowers, herbs and spices. This has depth and complexity, and if Altamira is Barbaresco, Gualtallary is Barolo... 10,000 bottles were filled in January 2022." Reviewed by Luis Gutiérrez, Dec 01, 2022

Producer - Altos Las Hormigas

Alberto Antonini and Antonio Morescalchi have come a long way, from being youthful interlopers to one of the country’s leading producers, as well as being pioneers of a more elegant style of Malbec.

They collaborate closely with Pedro Parra, renowned as South America's leading authority on soil and vineyard mapping. Together, they've unveiled exceptional sites and translate their unique characteristics through their wines. Changes

A biodynamic approach and minimal intervention in the winery – including natural yeasts, a move from oak to concrete for the Malbec Clásico as well as the use of large, neutral oak for ageing the single vineyard wines to ensure the wine stays true to its place of origin.
