Sierra Alta translates as 'high mountains' which we think is rather fitting for this wine; 'low hillock' just wouldn't have cut it. You see, while Sierra Alta might be a reference to the high aspect at which these grapes are grown, giving the wine balance and finesse, it's also of incredibly 'Alta' quality. With vibrant flavours of black cherry, ripe plum and hints of chocolate over supple tannins, this Malbec is such a natural monolith of a wine, that its summit has broken through the clouds and there's goats jumping all over its north facing slope... Ah metaphors, can't live with them... can't appropriately use them to describe delicious high altitude Malbecs.
Ehrmanns has long-standing relationships with key Argentine producers who are experts in all things Malbec. Each year, the Ehrmanns buying team carefully source and blend this Malbec from selected vineyards. This quality-focused approach to sourcing allows for the best quality and expression of Malbec to be parcel-bought each year. Hand-picked grapes are quickly processed; de-stemmed and passed through a must chiller to bring the temp down to 15°C. They then pass into the fermentation tank and selected yeasts are added and fermented at 25°C. Traditional pump overs occur 3 to 4 times a day.
