Altolandon Mil Historias Malbec

The Altolandon vineyards are at 1,100m above sea level high in the mountains of Manchuela. Altolandon Mil Historias Malbec benefits from the cool nights extending the ripening period to produce a wonderfully aromatic wine. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and violets with chocolate, pepper and tobacco notes.

Owner and winemaker, Rosalia Molina, makes organic wines in one of Spain's highest altitude wineries. Her mission is to make wines that express the typicity of DO Manchuela: the vineyard, the altitude and the varieties planted.

This is a climate on the edge of what is possible: at 1,100 metres above sea level, the grapes experience a large diurnal range that encourages even ripening and helps to retain natural acidity. Rosalia's vineyards are certified organic, she uses only natural fertilisers, promoting biodiversity by welcoming chickens, sheep and pigs from local farms to roam the vineyards freely. Grapes are hand harvested and vinified as naturally as possible with native yeasts and little other intervention. The wines are then aged in clay amphora and some in French oak to give texture and complexity.
