Wine from Alta Vista

Filter

Alta Vista was founded by Count Patrick d’Aulan, heir of more than 250 years of winemaking tradition. With an enterprising spirit, he arrived in Argentina in the 90s looking for the best regions of Los Andes. And that’s how he discovered an exceptional terroir for wine production, and gathered a passionate team with a dream in common: To achieve the fullest expression of Argentinean wine and French savoir-faire.
In Alta Vista, we work to raise the experience. We try to exalt Argentinian terroir by following our three essential values:

Full commitment to our community, place, culture, and environment.
Constant search of challenges to keep on learning and growing.
Peaceful coexistence with the unique natural expression of each terroir, known as bio-adaptability.

Our winery is located in Chacras de Coria, Mendoza. Built in 1890, it is a local heritage site of Mendoza. Count Patrick d’Aulan and his family, former owners of Piper Heidsieck, one of the oldest Champagne Houses, developed the project and started the restoration.

Since the moment Alta Vista was founded, research and innovation have been part of the essence of our technical team. Technology applied to winemaking has always been a crucial component of every single process and stage.

Alta Vista Single Vineyard Temis Malbec 2020

$69.99 $57.00

Buy Now

This vineyard is situated at over 3,000 feet in altitude in Valle de Uco, and the vines are over seventy years old. This light soil is sandy with some silt, is very permeable and has boulders and a broken layer of limestone at a depth of 2.5 feet. Traditional irrigation is fed by water from the Andes Mountains. Temis has the coldest climate of all Alta Vista’s terroirs. Nights are quite cool and days are warm and soft, with constant breezes that help to keep the vines and grapes healthy. The grapes have a slow, gradual cycle of ripeness that is balanced and ideal. Planted in 1942, the selection massale vines are characterized by small clusters with small, compact grapes.

Review:

There’s a touch of bark, grilled Mediterranean spice savoriness to the rich but fresh blackberries, salted black plums and graphite notes. Pretty saline and flavorful on the palate. The tannins are powerful yet fine-grained. A structured and characterful malbec from old vines in El Cepillo.

Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

$129.00 $95.00

Buy Now

Opulent floral top notes carry you into an opaque purple core, imparting aromas of black currants, dark red cherry coulis, cigar box, and allspice berries. Powerful yet soft tannins are balanced with a delightful freshness of acidity. The palate is silky with nuanced flavors of cassis, ripe blackberry, and Morello cherry. The long finish invites you to discover the wine’s evolving layers.

Review:

This is, as usual, a beauty, perhaps more so thanks to a great vintage. It is classically Napa Valley, and classically “house styled” by Aron Weinkauf, with black and blue fruit, supple, approachable tannin structure and great depth of aroma and flavor. That said, keep in mind that this isn’t the winery flagship offering. Even in this price range Lyndenhurst is always a solid value, and is so again – maybe even a little more than usual. Decant well if you crack into this in the near term, or age it for the long term. Contains 10.6% Merlot, 3.8% Petit Verdot, 3.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.9% Malbec. (Rich Cook)

A juicy red with black currants and balsamic. Bark and mushroom. Iodine, too. Medium body, creamy texture that tightens at the end. An energy and firmness in the finish.
