Profile & Story
Alma de Apalta embodies the depth and soul of our vineyards. This elegant blend reflects the terroir's diversity and the intimate connection between humankind and the land. Crafted under regenerative, organic, and biodynamic agriculture, it expresses the purest essence of Apalta—a place where nature, time, and wisdom intertwine. HARVEST: The harvest in our regenerative, organic, and biodynamic vineyards in Apalta began, as in the previous two vintages, in late March. Moderate temperatures and a long, balanced ripening period favored the optimal development of aromatic compounds, flavors, and especially tannins, which provide structure without losing softness. In the lower part of the estate, where our ancestral vines are located, deeply rooted plants maintain a natural connection with their surroundings. These minimally intervened vines produced exceptional, elegant, and genuine grapes that clearly express the place's character. Patient, respectful work in the winery preserved the purity and energy of the origin, resulting in a wine of remarkable balance, freshness, and elegance—with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent finish that celebrates the very essence of Apalta.
Tasting Notes
Deep, bright ruby color. On the nose, it reveals fresh red and black fruits—blackberries, raspberries, and red currants—accompanied by subtle notes of violet, spice, and cocoa. On the palate, it offers a medium to full body, with fine, enveloping tannins that provide structure and balance. Fresh acidity extends the finish and enhances the sensation of purity. An expressive and serene wine, true to the character of Apalta. COMPOSITION: 80% Malbec 20% Petit Verdot ORGANIC WINE
