2023 Terrazas de Los Andes Chardonnay

The vineyards for this Argentinian white wine are located at an altitude of 1250 meters in the Tupungato wine district. The Chardonnay grapes grow peacefully among the foothills of the Andes Mountains. At this altitude, the grapes receive ample warmth from the sun, but also a pleasant freshness that prevents them from ripening too quickly. Meltwater from the snow-capped peaks provides natural and clean irrigation for the vines. The Chardonnay grapes are harvested entirely by hand during the first week of March. This manual harvest ensures strict selection, ensuring only the finest fruit makes it into the wine. Before aging, this delicious Chardonnay is aged in French oak barrels for eight months. This aging process develops the full, beautifully creamy character.

The Terrazas de Los Andes Chardonnay is an oak-aged Chardonnay. In the glass, we immediately notice its beautiful straw-yellow color with a lovely golden sheen. The aroma reveals aromas of peach, pineapple, orange blossom, and a hint of vanilla. The mild, oily finish creates a pleasant and full-bodied experience. The rich flavor nuances of tropical fruit, dominated by peach and passion fruit, are pleasantly balanced by a light hint of citrus and vanilla.
