Altosur

WINERY OVERVIEW Produced by Finca Sophenia, Altosur means “high in the south.” Here, varieties are grown at 3,937 feet/1,200 meters above sea level. Altosur provides an excellent, high-quality example of New World wines with a distinctly Argentine character, at an exceptional value. LOCATION OF VINEYARD The vineyard was planted in 1997 and is located on the slopes of the Andes Mountains in the district of Tupungato, Mendoza, which produces some of the region’s highest quality grapes. The vineyards were planted on virgin soil: sandy and rocky, with excellent drainage. The results are wines of great complexity, great fruit concentration, and long aging capability. All wines are estate-grown, produced, and bottled. WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY Harvest is done by hand at cooler temperatures. The first selection process is carried out in the vineyard, and the grapes are harvested in small crates to avoid causing any damage to the berries. A second selection is performed at the cellar, where the best grape clusters are chosen for vinification.
