Hostage Altamira
- The Voice of the Origin
Hostage Altamira - The Voice of the Origin
Born in the captivating extremes of Paraje Altamira, Hostage expresses the vibration, mineral tension, and textural finesse of this exceptional limestone terroir.
Originating from a unique four-hectare (11 acres) vineyard in Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, planted in 1957, it reveals a Malbec with tension, minerality, and refined structure.
Here, altitude and stone define the character. The thermal amplitude preserves freshness, while the limestone soils imprint precision and energy.
Through the meticulous work of Marcelo Pelleriti, Chief Winemaker, and Miguel Priore, Vintner, the vineyard's identity is translated into a wine of freshness, elegance, and uncompromising quality.
A wine that took us hostage from the first encounter — vibrant, elegant, and unmistakably tied to its origin.
