Terroir Maps
Our goal is to create a map to complexity. Getting to know and to understand the Mendoza region, to the point of drawing a map of the different Terroirs that exists, is the first relevant step ahead. Making wines that draw their complexity and character from their origin, and not from the winemaking style, this is the task that the Altos Las Hormigas team has taken as a professional and human challenge. So far we have identified three areas of limestone soil in Mendoza, that clearly stand out as “Grand Crus” of Malbec, and many other areas of good and sometimes superior quality.
