High-altitude vineyards at the foothills of the Andes Mountains define the identity of this wine from Terrazas de los Andes, a producer focused on expressing Malbec through site and elevation. Sourced from select parcels in Mendoza, the Grand Malbec represents a more refined and structured interpretation of the variety, moving beyond simple fruit expression toward greater depth and precision. The vineyards benefit from significant diurnal temperature variation, allowing for slow ripening and the retention of acidity alongside full phenolic development.
In the cellar, fruit is handled parcel by parcel, with careful extraction to build structure while preserving definition. Ageing in French oak, with a proportion of new barrels, adds texture and complexity, supporting the wine without overwhelming its varietal character. This approach results in a more composed and layered style, positioned in the premium tier and designed to offer both immediate appeal and the capacity to develop further with time.
