Winemaker Notes
Establishing his vineyards in 1999, third-generation Lebanese immigrant Karim Mussi and his family pioneered La Consulta in the Uco Valley as a special place to make “born and raised” wines that showed the unique style and terroir of the region.
Today La Consulta is not only one of Argentina’s few Geographic Indication (GI) Appellation districts, it is widely considered one of the best. Altocedro is synonymous with outstanding La Consulta wines utilizing original old vine rootstocks, indigenous yeasts, hundred-year-old concrete fermentation tanks, and Karim’s minimalist winemaking, creating true terroir-driven wines.
The Tempranillo is from a section of the estate vineyard planted 30 years ago. Deep and intense ruby red with violet reflections. Very aromatic with notes of red and ripe
black fruit like blackberry, black currant, and pepper. On the palate it is rounded and smooth with sweet tannins and balanced acidity. Sensations of plum and red fruit jam.
