Altos Las Hormigas, established in 1995 by Alberto Antonini and Antonio Morescalchi, quickly gained recognition for their innovative approach to winemaking in Mendoza, particularly with Malbec. Expanding their portfolio, the Blanco is a testament to their dedication to exploring the rich viticultural potential of the region.
This wine is a blend of 52% Sémillon, 28% Chenin Blanc, and 20% Pedro Giménez, sourced from old parral vineyards in San Carlos, known for deep soils that enhance freshness.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: A light, vibrant hue that hints at the wine's freshness.
- Aroma: Subtle and refined, with the blend contributing to a unique bouquet that, while not overly aromatic, hints at the complexity within.
- Palate: The wine exhibits a clean and sharp profile, marked by good freshness and acidity. Its unoaked nature allows the varietals to shine, offering a balanced and tasty finish. The texture is ethereal, dry, and slightly chalky, reflecting the wine's early harvest and minimalist intervention in winemaking.
Wine-Pairing Ideas: Given its freshness and balanced acidity, this wine pairs beautifully with seafood, light pasta dishes, or as an accompaniment to a cheese platter, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them.
