WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Brimming with aromatic intensity, our bright, fruity Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec wine is created from a blend of more than 100 plots, transitioning to organic, where the earth meets the sky at the foothills of the Andes. Blending mountain fruit from our vineyards in the Uco Valley with grapes from the higher terroirs of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, is our signature mountain Malbec wine.
TASTING NOTES:
This opens with earthy notes, dark fruit and dark olives, lifted by a subtle floral character. The palate is fresh and approachable with a clean, uncomplicated finish. The grapes for this wine come from various sites, predominantly Altamira.

The 2023 Malbec Reserva Terrazas de los Andes, made from grapes from Uco and Luján de Cuyo, is a modern red for the category. Partially aged in barrels for up to a month, it presents a fruity aroma with an appealing cherry note and a backdrop of flowers and balsamic herbs. Dry and juicy, with a soft, slender mouthfeel, the 2023 is more thirst-quenching than it is structured.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
The 2023 Malbec Reserva is well-made and sanguine in tart red fruit and a bite of white plum. The pillowy tannins support lengthy, medium-bodied richness and leathery earth, with the structure to go another 10-12 years.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts.
A charming style, showing details of citrus blossoms, guava and huckleberry, with traces of fresh herbs and cassis that linger in the background. Subtle minerality and fresh acidity nudge the core flavors onto the polished finish.
