Exploring the World of Higher Altitude Wines

Heighten your senses with this high altitude red blend.  Coming from vines in the sky, 1750 meters above sea level in Cafayate Argentina, El Porvenir’s Malbec, Cabernet, and Syrah blend provides a unique alternative to your traditional Mendoza selection.  With the combination of high altitude, desert climate and diverse diurnal temperatures, the wine produced has great concentration and structure with a refined elegance that proves to pour harmonically and balanced.

I tried this wine last night paired with a juicy steak and it was to die for.  I was happily surprised by its sophistication that cannot usually be found in a wine at this price.  This style is not like the jammy, mass produced reds that have come out of Argentina and is a must try with your favorite red meat or firm cheese.

It has rich red and black fruit with earthy undertones of dried herbs and cracked black pepper.  Leather and sweet oak round the palate and the lingering finish will have you coming back for more.

High altitude wines are really unique and intriguing.  Let your palate explore into the mountains of Salta and let your taste buds be tempted!
