2024 Terrazas de Los Andes Chardonnay

The Terrazas de Los Andes Chardonnay 2024 is a refined, crisp white wine from Mendoza, Argentina. This elegant Chardonnay, from the cool, high-altitude vineyards of the Andes, combines ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and subtle oak notes. A wine that showcases the Andes at their finest: pure, mineral, and with a perfect balance of ripeness and freshness.

Origin & terroir

The grapes for this Chardonnay come from the Gualtallary and El Peral vineyards in the Uco Valley , at elevations between 1200 and 1500 meters above sea level. The cool nights and strong sunshine ensure slow, balanced ripening, allowing the wine to retain both tropical fruit aromas and a vibrant freshness. The chalky, stony soils contribute to a pronounced minerality and structure.

Vinification & style

• Fermentation: partly in stainless steel and partly in French oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation for smoothness.
• Maturation: approximately 8 months “sur lie” in oak barrels for depth and creaminess.
• Style: Lively, mineral and elegant, with a subtle hint of wood and a fresh, long finish.
