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 established the Alpamanta Estate. Their 35 hectares of pristine land in Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, have proudly maintained organic and biodynamic certifications from the outset. This cellared Cabernet features delightful secondary aromas, nuanced leather notes, and the timeless allure of chocolate-mint undertones. Deep, opulent, and velvety, it stands as a prime testament to the transformative effect of aging on Cabernet.

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.
