From the high-altitude vineyards of Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira comes to this aromatic, well-structured Malbec, produced from concentrated grapes that benefited from excellent weather in a year of low yields. Surrounded by the high peaks of the Andes, Terrazas’s vineyard is located in the heart of Mendoza’s Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley. With the extremely high altitude, low rainfall, and rocky soil, wines made in the region are pushed hard for hydration and nutrients. The results of successful wine in this region develop intensely vivid flavours. The climate also assists in reducing acidity, which assists the winemakers in producing the purest expression of each wine.
Terrazas’s winery was built in 1898 by Sotero Arizu, one of the pioneers in the creation of the wine production market in Argentina. The oldest vineyard Las Compuertas was planted in 1929, designed to produce the ultimate expression of Malbec. Today, Argentina dominates the world in Malbec production and has helped popularise the grape around the world.
