Description

Out of a remarkable 18,244 wines tasted at this year's Decanter World Wine Awards, one shone above all others. The Altosur Malbec 2023 wowed the judges and scored an impressive 95 points.

You might expect an award-winning wine like this, triumphing over the great hallowed wines of the world, would be very expensive. Guess again. Judges noted, "Value Best in Show wines rarely exceed the appeal you'll find here. Saturatedly dense, dark Malbec from the prized highlands of Gualtallary makes this point admirably".

Finca Sophenia

Established in 1997 Finca Sophenia is recognised as one of the top wine producers in Argentina. Winery founder Roberto Luka specifically chose Gualtallary, Tupungato, Mendoza - one of the most prestigious winegrowing regions in Argentina - to craft the country’s highest quality wines. The result was absolutely gratifying, and the wines have since been universally praised by critics and publications across the world. The name of the estate is an amalgamation of his daughters names Sophia and Eugenia.

Mendoza

Mendoza, Argentina's most renowned wine region, is synonymous with exceptional winemaking and world-class wines. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes, Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine, cool nights, and minimal rainfall, creating perfect conditions for grape cultivation. The area is particularly famous for its Malbec, offering rich, full-bodied wines with dark fruit flavours and a velvety texture. It also excels in producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Torrontés. The diverse terroir, with its variety of soils and microclimates, imparts a unique character to its wines. Mendoza remains a must-visit destination for wine lovers seeking outstanding and memorable wines.
