Altamana + Riedel Decanter Offering

We love the Altamana Malbec 2015 but it really needs a decanter… So we found one that we could pair it with.

Sold separately, they would be $29.98.

Together with coupon code Decanter, you’ll get them for $24.99.

The Altamana is a Grand Reserve wine with a tremendous amount of oak and the classic eucalyptus green notes that are popular in Chilean red wines. This wine needs at least 30 minutes to breath and the best vessel is a decanter.

We found the Riedel Merlot decanter, an upright, delicate decanter that works beautifully with this wine to gently open the fruit and subdue the oak. As the wine opens, the eucalyptic green notes turn to a soft mint note and really accentuate the fruit.

Riedel is an industry leading crystal and glass manufacturer that produce some of the best wine glasses and decanters in the world.
