The Winery

Alta Vista

Alta Vista is an Argentinian wine estate with vineyards in Mendoza and Salta. It was founded in 1998 and is owned by the d'Aulan family, the former owners of the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne house. Alta Vista's top wine is the Alto cuvée which combines Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon, aged separately for 14 months in new French oak barrels. The portfolio also features a trio of single-vineyard Malbecs: Alizarine, Serenade and Temis, and the Terroir Selection which combines grapes sourced from five different vineyards. All are aged for 12 months in new French oak.

Tasting Notes

WA95
The flagship 2009 Alto is a blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged separately in new French oak for 22 months prior to blending. This purple effort displays a superb nose of toasty oak, mineral, exotic spices, and wild berries. Ripe, savory, concentrated, and impeccably balanced, this seamless wine will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2029, if not longer.
WS93
This is a dark, ambitious red, displaying layered flavors of crushed plum, cassis and boysenberry, framed by judicious toasty oak, smoke and espresso notes and silky tannins through the long finish. For fans of the powerful style. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2015.
