Hostage Altamira
A unique single vineyard that genuinely expresses Paraje Altamira’s utopian terroir.
Spanning eleven acres with soil thriving for seventy years affirmed our purpose: to produce a Malbec that is a genuine expression of Paraje Altamira. On a quest to craft wines with soul, character, and a venerable past, we were captivated by the utopian terroir of the Paraje Altamira, Mendoza region, which held us Hostage with its enchanting high-altitudes, cool nights, sun-drenched mornings, and unique mineral rich limestone soils contributed by the Tupungato volcano.
Paraje Altamira is a beacon in the viticultural world, forging wines of exceptional caliber and bold personality. Our Hostage’s silky tannins and seductive mineral character are the fruit of an unwavering dedication to capturing the essence of our land.
1853 Old Vine Estate
Heritage
Each glass holds over a century of history, echoing the resilience of Malbec’s original French ancestry brought in 1853.
Our single vineyard from La Consulta is a cherished heirloom of Malbec’s original French ancestry, with roots that trace back to 1853. It stood resilient while its European counterparts succumbed to the devastating phylloxera epidemic. Over the decades, while many vineyards turned to genetic modifications to bolster yield and resilience, the 1853 Old Vine Estate remained a beacon for Malbecs genetic heritage.
Twenty five-acre vineyard established in 1910 by the Bianchetti family, who emigrated from Italy, the vineyard stands as a living archive of the Malbec varietal, originally imported from France to Argentina by Michel Pouget in 1853. Through “layering” a time-honored viticulture technique, the vines ancestral DNA has been meticulously conserved.
