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

Founded in 1995 by Italians Alberto Antonini, a winemaker, and entrepreneur Antonio Morescalchi, who bet on Malbec at a time when Mendoza was better known for Cabernet. Altos las Hormigas is now a serious terroir player: certified organic farming, regenerative work at their Paraje Altamira vineyard, older untoasted barrels and concrete in place of new oak, and site-specific Malbecs from Altamira and Gualtallary. They also helped launch Mendoza's Terroir Project.
