This wine is produced by the d'Aulan family, former proprietor of Champagne's celebrated Piper-Heidsieck. With an eye to exploring the potential in other regions, the d'Aulans began to branch out across the globe, founding Alta Vista in 1998. The Premium Estate Malbec is their brilliant entry-level Malbec that will suggest vibrant dark fruit with an earthy undertone and fresh acidity. This perfectly embodies the d'Aulan family's desire to combine native Argentine passion with a French outlook. |
