Winemaking & Key Facts 100% Malbec from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley. Vibrant and refreshing with notes of fresh berries and cherry. Crisp acidity and light body, perfect for warm weather. Versatile food pairing options from light salads to grilled meats. Best enjoyed young and fresh, with a cellaring potential of up to 2 years. The Malbec grapes for Altosur Malbec Rosé are harvested from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, where the cool climate and rocky soils contribute to the wine’s vibrant acidity and distinct minerality. The grapes are handpicked at their peak of ripeness to ensure the perfect balance of flavour and acidity. A short maceration period extracts the delicate pink colour and fresh berry flavours, followed by a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s aromatic profile. Altosur Malbec Rosé is a product of the renowned Finca Sophenia winery, known for its commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Uco Valley. This wine embodies the spirit of Argentine winemaking, offering a refreshing, elegant, and fruit-forward rosé that is perfect for any occasion. Altosur Malbec Rosé captures the essence of Argentina’s winemaking tradition, offering a beautifully balanced and approachable wine that delights the senses. Awards & ratings Recent recognition 2022 vintage: 90 points, James Suckling About Finca Sophenia Founded in 1998 by Roberto Luka (a former president of Wines of Argentina), Finca Sophenia was one of the first wineries to plant vines in Gualtallary, then untouched land at about 1,200 metres in the northern Uco Valley, Mendoza. Today Gualtallary is one of Argentina’s most prestigious terroirs. The 130-hectare estate grows every grape it bottles on stony, calcareous soils with only 300 to 350 mm of rain a year and big swings between hot days and cold Andean nights. That gives fresh wines with natural acidity, firm tannins and a mineral edge. Since 2020 Sophenia has become the largest certified-organic estate in Gualtallary, and its wines are sold in more than 25 countries. The name blends Sophia and Eugenia. Eugenia Luka, the founder’s daughter, now leads the new generation alongside winemaker Joaquín Martín.
