Altos Las Hormigas helped write the modern Malbec playbook in Mendoza, and 'Meteora' is their love letter to a single place: the rocky, high-altitude Jardin de Hormigas vineyard in Paraje Altamira, way up in the Uco Valley at around 1,200 meters. The vines are farmed organically, with native plants threaded between the rows to keep the place alive and buzzing. This bottling sees native-yeast fermentation in concrete and a long rest in concrete too, so there's no oaky makeup here, just stony, savory Malbec with a cool mountain edge. Think violets and crushed rock rather than jam. It's the kind of Malbec that makes you rethink what the grape can do.

More about Altos las Hormigas

In 1995, when everyone else was planting Cabernet Sauvignon, winemaker Alberto Antonini and entrepreneur Antonio Morescalchi bet everything on Malbec in Mendoza. They were right. Altos las Hormigas pioneered terroir-driven Malbec with biodynamic farming, minimal intervention, and deep knowledge of places like Altamira and Gualtallary. Antonini's global palate brings new ideas every vintage. These are unshowy, ambitious wines from people who actually understand what they're doing.
