Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay is a blend of the emblematic terroirs of the Estate. Each vineyard’s grapes have unique aromas that reflect the specific altitude and soil. When put together in Terrazas Reserva, they become facets of a layered and complex expression of Mendoza. The fruit is sourced from our high-altitude estate vineyard Finca Caicayen (4,100 feet), in Uco Valley, and our winemakers harvest early for fresh acidity and using less new oak for maturation, resulting in a fresh and vibrant style reminiscent of Burgundy!
