Terrazas de los Andes

This can be understood as being a kind of anti-California style Chardonnay in the sense that it shows virtually no buttery notes nor toasty ones. Rather, it is a basic, straightforward wine with tart apple flavors and a good finishing tang. 89 Roger Morris

(2025) A blend of parcels from vineyards where altitudes range from 1230m (4,035 feet) to 1650m (5,413 feet), the wine completed fermentation in oak barrels, where it aged on the lees for eight months. There is an overlay of custardy, creamy almond oak, but the ripe and peachy fruit, cut by lemon, is there. On the palate this has texture and a little hint of exotic ripeness, certainly quite plush, but it is well tempered by the acidity.
