Altura was inspired by the connection between soil, elevation and microclimate in a special vineyard located at 1100 metres above sea level in the Andean foothills.
The Altura Cabernet Franc is supple and silky with ripe fresh berry fruits, herbaceous and minty notes. It’s an absolute cracker and superb with roast lamb.

| ProducerProfile | In 1885, the Buenos Aires to Mendoza railway opened, cementing the significance of this emerging wine growing region high in the Andean foothills. Ten years later, Edmund Norton planted the first vines in Mendoza’s Luján de Cuyo district. At 900-1100 metres, the altitude moderates the temperature, causing an extended ripening season, and also expose the vines to more ultraviolet light, which encourages the development of colour and tannin in the black-skinned varieties. The result is whites packed with vibrant flavour and good natural acidity, and well-structured, food-friendly reds. |
