Blend and Origin
Terrazas de los Andes Single Vineyard Las Compuertas Malbec 2014
Spring in Mendoza in 2014 was cool, but the summer hot, with a rainy period in April. This imparted high levels of acidity, freshness and aromatics in the wine, leading to a juiciness and elegance that signals excellent aging potential. The wine spent 14-16 months in French oak (90% new), and a further 18 months in the bottle, to develop wonderful depth and complexity.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
