Description

A fine Argentinian wine that fully expresses the grape's freshness

The estate

Founded by pioneers, adopted by the local inhabitants and molded by the Andes mountains, Terrazas de los Andes is an Argentine estate with a recent yet rich history. Three decades ago, Hervé Birnie-Scott, a French agronomist, settled in South American lands in order to elevate Argentinian wines to the rank of fine world-renowned wines. He successfully accomplished his goal, as today Terrazas de los Andes is an emblem of fine Argentinian wines.

The vineyard

Terrazas de los Andes Malbec Reserva 2018 stems from the vineyards of Las Compuertas, Paraje Altamira, Eugenio Bustos and Chacayes located at an altitude of between 1070 and 1200 metres. Vines aged between 20 and 90 years enjoy their ideal conditions and ripen the most beautiful grapes.

The vintage

The 2018 vintage is marked by three important characteristics. The first being that spring was mild and dry, with a few insignificant frosts. Secondly, the month of January was warm, with above-average temperatures in the lower areas and average temperatures in the elevated areas. Lastly, a very even and mild autumn led to the harvesting of optimally ripe grapes that displayed a very good natural acidity. The grapes are fresh, healthy, with a very good concentration of colour which promises very high quality wines.

Vinification and ageing

Following an early morning harvest by hand, the grapes are taken to the cellar to be destemmed and lightly crushed. Followed by being placed into vats to begin fermentation. This lasts between 20 and 25 days with pumping over and racking. The wine is then aged for 12 months at 40% in fouth-fill French oak barrels. It is clarified and filtered before at least 6 more months of bottle ageing.

The blend

Malbec (100%).
