Who makes it
Achaval-Ferrer is based in Mendoza and produces red wines called Malbec and Finca Altamira. SPI Group is the current owner group. Roberto Cipresso was the original winemaker and a minority investor, and he sold his shares in 2011. The named range includes Malbec and Finca Altamira, and the ownership history includes both Cipresso and SPI Group.
Where it grows
Mendoza is the appellation shown for the named wines. Finca Altamira includes Altamira in its bottle name, while Malbec does not include a Finca name. This distinction appears on the label: Mendoza is the appellation, and Altamira appears in the name of one wine.
What they make
The range includes a varietal Malbec wine and Finca Altamira, both red Mendoza wines. Malbec carries the 2024 vintage. Finca Altamira appears in the 2018 and 2021 vintages. No blend, oak, fermentation, ageing, or sensory detail is supplied for either wine.
