Rocamadre Paraje Altamira Malbec 2023 Review

In Argentina's Uco Valley, a movement toward terroir is taking hold. In Argentina "paraje" translates to a specific place or spot, used here to represent the expression of a certain vineyard site. Paraje Altamira, where this wine comes from, was the first region in Argentina designated by soil composition rather than political boundaries. This wine embraces that philosophy, offering a beautiful, terroir-driven experience. The nose is earthy, with notes of mushroom and soil complemented by hints of aged balsamic. On the palate, it is composed and mineral-forward, featuring medium depth and fine tannins. The finish is lingering and savory.
