Wine in Uco Valley

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. Terrazas Reserva Malbec is a blend of the emblematic terroirs of the Estate and reflects Terrazas’s signature winemaking style. 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 Terrazas.

The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of freshly crushed black cherries and toasty/smoky oak—just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice and sandalwood lurking in the background.

To elaborate our ADUENTUS CABERNET FRANC we use grapes from Uco Valley - Tupungato, specifically from the areas of Gualtallary, and La Arboleda. These areas are highly recognized for their excellent quality. The vineyards are located at 1100 meters above sea level, with a great thermal amplitude between day and night, which allows the development of aromatic elegance and concentration. The grapes used for this exceptional wine are hand-picked in 18kg boxes and then received at the winery where they are placed in cold chambers to lower the temperature to control oxidation and early fermentation. Then, a manual selection of the grape bunches is made. The grapes are transported in small buckets and dropped by gravity into the fermentation tanks. The wine is then placed in French oak and American oak barrels for 14 months. Once bottled, the ADUENTUS range rests in an underground aging room for at least one year before being sold. In this way, the wine matures inside the bottle in perfect conditions of temperature and humidity.
