2022 ‘Altitud’ Malbec, Andeluna

Full-flavoured and bold Malbec—plum, blackberry and vanilla oak layered with liquorice spice, rich texture and a long, robust finish.

About the Winery: Founded in 2003, Andeluna crafts premium mountain wines from its 70-hectare estate in Gualtallary, Tupungato, at 1,300 metres above sea level. The estate name evokes the moonlit Andes surrounding the vineyards. Managed sustainably and certified organic since 2020, Andeluna combines minimal-intervention techniques with precise vineyard mapping to optimise cultivation. Winemaker Manuel González, formerly of Pulenta Estate and Trivento, works with consultant Hans Vinding Diers to produce expressive, terroir-driven wines that have established Andeluna as one of Argentina’s most exciting producers.
