Montes Alpha, the renowned Chilean wine producer, crossed the Andes into Argentina to take advantage of the idyllic growing conditions for malbec grapes. Malbec originated in southwest France and is often used in Bordeaux blends, but the grape soared to solo prominence as a result of the advancements in viticulture and vinification by Argentine producers. The three vineyards sit at altitudes above 2,900 feet, which, along with the daily temperature swing, creates long, slow, even ripening and results in wines of great structure and balance.
