Description

Il Grand Malbec di Terrazas De Los Andes è un'espressione straordinaria di uno dei vitigni simbolo dell'Argentina. Questo vino rosso, prodotto nelle rinomate alte terre di Mendoza, vanta un carattere distintivo e potente. Al naso, si apre con un bouquet di frutti neri intensi, come mora e prugna, accompagnato da note speziate di pepe nero e vaniglia, derivanti dall'affinamento in botti di rovere francese.

In bocca, il Grand Malbec offre una struttura robusta, con tannini setosi e ben integrati che conferiscono una piacevole morbidezza e rotondità. La mineralità tipica dei vigneti di alta montagna si fonde con ricche sfumature di cacao e tabacco, creando un'esperienza gustativa complessa e appagante. Il lungo finale persistente lascia una sensazione di eleganza e profondità, rendendolo ideale per accompagnare piatti di carne rossa, arrosti e formaggi stagionati.

L'attenta selezione delle uve e le tecniche di vinificazione avanzate, tipiche della cantina Terrazas De Los Andes, assicurano che ogni bottiglia di Grand Malbec rappresenti al meglio il terroir unico della regione. Questo vino è un'ottima scelta sia per occasioni speciali che per arricchire la vostra collezione.

Winery history

The project began in the early 1990s with the exploration of Mendoza’s high-altitude terraces. The first vintage of Reserva Malbec was vinified in 1996 and released to the market in the late 1990s. Over the years the winery has acquired and developed vineyards in key appellations such as Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, integrating irrigation technologies and modern viticultural practices.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on the mountain environment and on fruit quality: production of "mountain wines" at high altitude using agricultural practices focused on soil regeneration, water conservation and reducing environmental impact. The winery's messaging emphasizes the claim that fresher, more elegant wines come from altitude and the precise management of vineyard parcels.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the province of Mendoza, with parcels distributed between Luján de Cuyo and several subzones of the Valle de Uco. Some of the vineyards mentioned include Las Compuertas, Los Castaños, El Pedregal, Licán, Cepas del Plata and El Espinillo, cultivated at different altitudes to enhance the expression of each terroir.
