- ws91
The vineyards of Alta-Yarí are nestled between the Mendoza plains and the snow-capped Andes mountains, at an altitude that only truly experienced winemaker can make shine. The vines then, have an ability to thrive in this unique environment, producing some of the most remarkable and full of character Argentine wines you will ever find. Hervé Fabre, of Fabre Montmayou fame, leaned on his 40+ years of dedicated vineyard work, research and winemaking experience to select only the very best plots which produce the most exceptional fruit spanning across the estate. He believes that the Alta-Yarí estate in Gualtallary is one of the best he has ever found. Alta-Yarí combines a French heart and an Argentine soul to create a Grand Vin Argentin.

Reveals fleshy plum and cherry flavors, with firm acidity lifting everything and carrying it all onto the finish around polished tannins. Drink now through 2036. 2,500 cases made, 450 cases imported.
