Description
Alamos crafts quality wines from Argentina, offering the best of Mendoza's high altitude vineyards at an incredible value. Alamos grapes are grown at the foothills of the Andes Mountains at elevations of 3,000 to 5,000 feet, where intense sunlight, cool evening temperatures and mineral-rich irrigation from mountain snowmelt translate to rich wines with intense flavor characteristics.
Producer Description
The Alamos winemaking philosophy is to make flavorful, drinkable wines that preserve each varietal's distinctive aroma, flavor, and texture. Some of the Alamos wines acquire additional complexity from moderate oak aging. The Alamos winemaking team aims to make wines that are as good as wines twice their price.Grapes for Alamos are hand harvested to ensure gentle handling. A double manual selection process ensures only the best grapes are used. Alamos wines receive moderate oak aging of a mixture of French and American oak which varies according to vintage.Alamos wines are made at Bodega Alamos, a state of the art facility located in Vistaflores, Mendoza. The winery's specially designed conic tanks allow for soft, gentle extraction. It also has small format tanks that allow for lot selection and separation.The Alamos winemaking team is lead by Felipe Stahlschmidt. Felipe received his winemaking degree from the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo and is finishing the thesis for his Masters in Viticulture and Winemaking in Mendoza. Felipe trained as Assistant winemaker of Catena winemaker Alejandro Vigil.
