Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Chardonnay is 100% Chardonnay from the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina, coming from several high-altitude estate vineyards. The wine is fermented partly in oak barrels (French and/or American), and aged on lees for about eight months to add texture, while preserving freshness and fruit purity. The estate emphasizes precise vineyard parcels to balance elegance with expressive fruit.
