Terrazas de los Andes

The Gran Malbec, Terrazas' next offering after the Reserva, is sourced from vineyards across the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, situated at elevations between 1,070 and 1,650 meters. Notably, 20% of the blend comes from the El Espinillo vineyard, Gualtallary's highest. This wine is aged for 12 months in barrels, with 40% new oak, though its influence is barely perceptible. The dominant characteristic is the vibrant red mountain fruit, which expands and refreshes the palate. It's a well-balanced Malbec with fine, subtle tannins.

Grapes grow at an altitude of 3,280 feet, enjoying diurnal temperature variation. The result is a flavorful wine, with a nose of cassis, blackberries and coffee. It has a smooth texture and concentrated ripe black- and red-fruit flavors balanced by fine-grained tannins and good acidity. Earthy notes of dark chocolate complement the fruity character.
