Altos Las Hormigas Malbec
Mendoza Malbec, hand picked and stocked in Commack.
The story behind Altos Las Hormigas
Malbec is the red grape Argentina made famous, and Mendoza is where it does its best work. Warm days and cool nights at altitude give the wine deep color, plush dark fruit and a soft, food friendly finish. It is a red that drinks well young and rewards a little air in the glass.
We stock Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Clasico and Altos Las Hormigas Malbec here in Commack, a small allocation of two bottles. Call ahead to confirm what is on the shelf.
