Mendoza is the biggest and most important of Argentina`s wine regions. Many early winemakers were of Italian origin and brought with them their native Barbera, Bonarda and Sangiovese. However, it is Malbec, originally from Bordeaux and the south west of France, that has established the most successful presence in Mendoza.

As you may have guessed from its name and label, the grapes for Punto Alto come from high altitude vineyards in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Sunshine is pure and warm; nights are much cooler.

This organically grown red wine Malbec, is a dark purple in colour with brambly mulberry and plum fruits and black cherries on the nose. The palate has great concentration with velvety texture, dark fruits and a hint of chocolate on the finish.

Just the ticket for summer barbecues with all the chargrilled offerings.

Argentina

In 1556 fr Juan Cedrón established the first Argentinian vineyards in Mendoza using cuttings from the Chilean Central Valley. Argentina is now the worlds fifth largest wine producer. The many different grapes reflect the country's immigrant groups: the French brought Malbec, the Italians brought Bonarda and Torrontés is typically Argentinian found in the provinces of La Rioja, San Juan, and Salta.

Malbec

Malbec is a tale of two worlds - the old and the new. Malbec has become synonomous with Argentinia where the high altitude vineyards produce delicate, floral Malbec.

Yet, as with many things vinous, the grape came from France (where it was known as Côt or Auxxerois). Used in blends, including in Bordeaux, it's best known French expression is in Cahors.
