Terrazas de los Andes
- Moët & Hennessy wine division
Terrazas de los Andes (Spanish for "Terraces of the Andes") is a winery located in Luján de Cuyo in the province of Mendoza, Argentina.
Terrazas de los Andes was founded in 1996 as a Moët-Hennessy subsidiary in Argentina,[1] refurbishing an old winery built in 1898.[2] It has 8 vineyards planted on terraces at various altitude on the eastern foothills of the Andes, between 980m and 1250 above sea level.[3] Each grape variety is planted at a specific altitude, matching with a specific climatic condition for optimal growing and ripening.[4][5] Precision viticulture techniques (such as soils analysis, electro-conductivity mapping) have been implemented in the recent years in order to boost the quality and the performance of the grapes varieties.[6]
Terrazas de los Andes produces primarily Malbec wines as well as Cabernet-Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Torrontés which production is located in Cafayate (Salta province). Two vineyards - planted in 1929 and 1945, the oldest among the entire estate - are dedicated to the production of limited edition "Single Vineyard" and "Parcels" Malbec.[7]
In 1999, Terrazas de los Andes partnered with Château Cheval Blanc to elaborate Cheval des Andes, a premium Bordeaux-style blend of Malbec and Cabernet-Sauvignon.[8]
