Terrazas de Los Andes Organic Malbec 2022

Terrazas de Los Andes Organic Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, 2022   

Grape: 100% Malbec, aged for 12 months in French oak, organic & sustainable farming

Brimming with aromatic intensity, the bright, fruity Terrazas de los Andes 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 vineyards in the Uco Valley with grapes from the higher terroirs of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, this is signature mountain Malbec wine.

This wine is fresh and intensely fruity on the nose with black and red fruit flavours like blackberry, plum and strawberry, together with typical violet and mountain spices notes of cold climate Malbec. On the palate, it is vibrant and layered, the mouthfeel is fresh and polished, with a good tension and length.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Very recently bottled, so a little stubborn and muted (even after having been decanted for a couple of hours) – and although I've noted to drink from 2024, I would leave this until the second half or even end of 2024 before opening. Tobacco-leaf on the nose and then both floral and gamey. Iris and violets dancing over roast-venison base notes. Vigorous, fiercely salty freshness. Mouth-filling, with roundness and supple tannins. The finish is lightly chewy with good length and leaves the distinctive, satisfying, linger fragrance and spice-herbiness of freshly cured tobacco leaf." Drink 2024-2030
