A Story of Stone and Soil: Traslapiedra’s Altamira Journey
In the heart of Mendoza’s Uco Valley lies Paraje Altamira, a land where ancient riverbeds left behind stones that define not just the soil, but the character of the wines born from it. It is here that Traslapiedra—meaning “behind the stone”—crafts wines that are as much about place as they are about grape.
The Traslapiedra Tinto Paraje Altamira tells the first chapter of this story: a vivid expression of Altamira’s unique terroir. Fresh, vibrant, and marked by stony minerality, it captures the spirit of the land in its purest form.
That narrative deepens with the Traslapiedra Malbec, a wine that balances youthful energy with elegant structure. Bursting with dark berries, violets, and a touch of spice, it shows how Altamira’s stones translate into finesse and precision in the glass.
And then there is the Traslapiedra Malbec Reserva —the mature voice in the trilogy. Aged patiently, it draws out layers of complexity: plum, graphite, cocoa, and a lingering earthy depth. It is a wine for slow contemplation, showing the long arc of what Altamira can give when time and care are invested.
Together, these wines tell a single story—of land, stone, and time—each bottle revealing a different facet of Altamira’s soul.
