Fruity & Powerful

Alta Yarí, Malbec

Red wine | Uco Valley

Gateway to the kingdom of Argentinian Malbec!
This red wine offers notes of cherry and licorice, with a supple, fresh palate, with fine tannins and a naturally spicy finish. No wood in this wine, just the grape variety, in all its purity! A fine example of Argentinian Malbec, to drink young, fruity, for a crisp, immediate pleasure. Its expressive, very fruity profile allows it to be combined with spicy, Indian and Asian dishes.

Alta Yari

The ambition is to make Alta Yarí one of the most exceptional areas in Argentina. After leaving Bordeaux almost 40 years ago, Hervé Fabre has had the privilege of working with many exceptional terroirs in Argentina, but the Alta Yarí estate in Gualtallary is in his opinion one of the best.
