"This vineyard is an extraordinary place, with an even more impressive landscape. No one had put his hands to work on these lands before. The producers of Paraje Altamira drew the border where the stone allowed them. They used to cultivate on the flattest and less stony areas, close to the town of La Consulta, because moving south and west meant venturing into the heart of the highest part of the alluvial fan of the Tunuyán River. It meant fighting against the stone.
We arrived there through intuition, driven by the landscape. And we faced that struggle with energy, but also with the humility of knowing that we were facing something infinite.
We had to move more than a thousand trucks filled with stones, to make room for the vines.
It was the first step on a challenging path. Because cultivating this vineyard involves studying, working, knowing each row, each stone. Tirelessly exploring its immense diversity to be able to interpret it through the wine.
These Finca wines come exclusively from our family´s estate vineyards.
Finca Piedra Infinita is a Malbec, made from a careful selection of plots that grow on the shallower soils, so abundant in this vineyard. It is a true mountain wine." - Sebastián Zuccardi
"Originating from a selection of parcels planted in alluvial, sandy, granite soils with calcareous content, the 2021 Finca Piedra Infinita was vinified in concrete with whole clusters and aged for 12 months. It opens with a commanding, complex and ceaselessly evolving nose initially dominated by dusty, savory, spice-driven aromas, then blossoming with the classic purple flower notes characteristic of Paraje Altamira. The palate perfectly balances a seductive, sumptuous texture with remarkable richness and discernible finesse, culminating in a quietly explosive, long, intensely vibrant finish. This wine showed exceptional dynamism in the glass, constantly melding luscious black fruits, refined minerality and immaculately polished tannins in a punchy yet weightless, all-encompassing and captivating package. It is a simply magnificent example of contemporary Argentine Malbec." - Matthew Luczy, The Wine Advocate, May 01, 2025
