This malbec’s aromatic intensity hints at its excellence. Full of juicy fruit flavours, it opens up to reveal a precise, refined finish and delightfully spicy notes with a touch of menthol.
From high-altitude vines in Argentina’s renowned Mendoza region, the grapes for this malbec are hand-harvested. Aged for 12-14 months in French oak, the wine then rests in the bottle for six more. -

Blend and Origin
Terrazas de los Andes Malbec 2016
A colder spring and rains during flowering led to lower yields and less maturity in the grapes, grown on 20-to-80-year-old vines in Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira. The climactic conditions proved positive, and the resulting wines were remarkably fresh and aromatic. Aged in French oak, this malbec gains a smoothness characteristic of the estate’s wines.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
