Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

In the foothills of the Andes Mountains at 3,600ft above sea level, Paraje Altamira has a continental climate, intense cold spells and year-round wide thermal amplitude. Bright sunlight and scarce rain generate a very healthy environment for making wine. The soils are alluvial, with a sandy-loam topsoil covering calcium carbonate-rich (limestone) soils. Juanfa and Cecilia practice sustainable farming and winemaking with indigenous yeast. They rely on Andean meltwater to irrigate their crops.

Vinification

Wild yeast fermentation with some whole grape bunches. Unfiltered. pH: 3.6. Total Acidity: 5.36
