Tasting Notes

In 2005, three European expatriates living in Mendoza—Andrej Razumovsky, his cousin Andre Hoffmann, and their friend Jeremie Delecourt—planted their first vines and laid the foundation for Alpamanta Estate. Their 35 hectares of pristine land in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, have proudly held organic and biodynamic certifications from the very beginning. This Malbec captivates with enticing aromas of black fruits, luscious berries, and delicate hints of vanilla. Displaying a concentrated, full-bodied profile, it boasts ripe tannins and a resolute finish. The time spent in our cellar has splendidly enhanced this wine's character and depth.

Robert Parker

The fruit-driven and youthful-looking 2012 Estate Malbec looks nothing like the wines I've tasted from the past here. There's no trace of oak, even though it seems to have aged in barrel for ten months. It's juicy and fresh, with unnoticeable tannins, straightforward and easy to drink.

Alpamanta Estate

In 2005, a trio of European expats, Andrej Razumovsky, Andre Hoffmann, and Jeremie Delecourt, embarked on a remarkable journey in the heart of Mendoza, giving birth to Alpamanta Estate. Their story began with the planting of the first vines on 35 hectares of pristine land in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza. Since its inception, this sacred soil has proudly held certifications for biodynamic cultivation. A symphony of life thrives in their vineyard – buzzing insects serenade the day and night, while free-roaming animals help maintain the lush grass. The clay soil, enriched by alluvial deposits, mirrors the distinctive terroir of Ugarteche. Guided by Italian consultant Giuseppe Franceschini, Alpamanta Estate marries tradition with a contemporary vision. Their youthful Natal wines embrace the essence of natural winemaking, unfettered by oak or additives, save for a touch of sulphur. The Estate wines, in contrast, luxuriate in oak, aging patiently until they reach their peak before release.
