WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are organically grown and harvested by hand to ensure optimal fruit integrity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts to preserve the fresh, primary fruit characteristics of the Malbec grape. Extraction is kept gentle to avoid harsh tannins. The wine is aged primarily in concrete vats rather than oak barrels, a signature technique of Altos Las Hormigas designed to maintain purity, tension, and mineral focus.
