Alta-Yari Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Gualtallary 2021

At this point in his illustrious career, there aren’t a whole lot of things that Hervé Fabre hasn’t done. But for a man that has accomplished so much, the idea of taking the reigns at Alta Yari in the budding region of Gualtallary was an opportunity he simply couldn’t pass up.

After all, the value of old vines and high-quality farming is what first lured the great Fabre from Bordeaux to Mendoza, Argentina. The Alta Yari project gives the legend the amazing opportunity to work with vines at nearly 5000 feet above sea level that were planted in the 1980s. The extreme altitude and the specific mix of soils led Hervé to believe this to be the best potential for a “grand cru” in the Andean foothills.
