Altosur, with its violet hues and aromas of intense ripe fruit, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and fresh plums, combined with spicy and floral hints, is a joy to drink. A wine of good intensity, concentration and long after taste. In its inaugural year, the wine was awarded the Decanter International Trophy for Best World Red That's some achievement for a new winery. Pairs surprisingly well with blue cheese and great with strong hard cheese.

Finca Sophenia is located in the high altitude Tupungato Valley region of Mendoza, this modern winery benefits from a long, cool growing season and strong UV sunlight that helps maximise the aromas and complexity of the resulting grapes. Tupungato sits at the western extreme of Mendoza right at the foot of the Andes mountains with an elevation of 1,200 meters giving benefit to the vineyards from a much cooler climate, abundant sun, and sharp contrast between day and night temperatures. When all the above is combined it allows Julia Halupzcok, the winemaker and consultant Matias Michelini, the opportunity to produce wines with utmost expression.
