Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec (750 ml)

A blend of high altitude estate-owned vineyards in Uco Valley (Paraje Altamira, Eugenio Busto, Gualtallary) and Luján de Cuyo (Las Compuertas). Each vineyard and sub-parcel is harvested by hand and vinified independently, creating a complete, layered expression of the Terrazas terroirs. This was the first wine of Terrazas de los Andes. The founders envisioned being among the first to reassess the style of Argentinean Malbec to produce something fresh and elegant, competing with the best wines of the world. Intense red with purple hues. Marked floral character with aromas of violets laced with red and black fruit notes and subtle hints of chocolate. The bouquet is completed with delicate toasty notes and aromas of tobacco from the well-integrated oak. Kind, aromatic and fresh. Its precise tannins provide great softness and presence in the mouth.Terrazas is a story of visionaries who made bold decisions before the potential of Argentina was known. In the 1950s Moët & Chandon created Bodega Chandon. In the 90s, its president had a vision for high-quality still wine in Mendoza and, with a team led by Hervé Birnie-Scott, explored the terroir. They realized the region’s robust wines could be more refined and modern coming from a cooler terroir selected at higher altitude. Years of experimentation allowed them to understand the right altitude for each varietal expression. Born in 1996, Terrazas de los Andes evolved an elegant Argentinian-French style in Mendoza.
