AboutAchaval Ferrer
Achaval Ferrer began in 1998 when a group of Argentine and Italian friends set out to build a Mendoza winery. Finca Altamira supplied the debut 1999 wine and became the reference point for the house’s single-vineyard philosophy. The estate’s vineyards include plantings dating to 1910.
At Altamira, ungrafted Malbec planted in 1950 grows around 1,100 metres above sea level beside the Tunuyán River, on layered alluvial soils with volcanic and limestone-rich deposits. The range also includes Mendoza Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Argentinian Red
$39.99
Black and red fruit lead a sharp, direct profile with subtle mineral nuances and juicy texture. Raspberry jam and cocoa powder join prune, cherry, cinnamon and a chocolate finish. Sweet red chilli, tobacco, blackberry, cassis and savoury orange peel add further detail. The palate is medium to full bodied, with broad, dense and chewy tannins, while freshness is also present.
Achaval Ferrer 2015 Finca Altamira Malbec
Argentinian Red
$199.99
Blood orange and bittersweet cherry open with ripe strawberry, red berries and a faint thread of star anise. The palate is powerful yet fresh, carrying concentrated fruit through balanced acidity and a clear mineral undertone. Fine, powdery tannins give the wine shape without heaviness, while a savoury edge keeps the finish composed and persistent. Decant before serving with grilled beef, lamb or mushrooms.
