| Tasting Notes |
Terrazas de Los Andes is one of Argentina’s leading fine wine estates, recognised for pioneering high-altitude viticulture in Mendoza. The Grand Cabernet Sauvignon represents the estate’s flagship expression of the variety, showcasing the freshness, structure and precision that define the best Andean Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage is sourced from two regeneratively farmed vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, where altitude, cool nights and alluvial soils encourage slow ripening and aromatic complexity. Matured for 12 months in French oak, the wine balances concentration with purity while preserving the character of its mountain terroir. The nose offers layered aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis, complemented by black pepper, tobacco, native herbs and subtle notes of dark chocolate and cedar. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with finely grained tannins, vibrant acidity and a polished texture. Concentrated dark fruit and savoury spice carry through to a long, fresh finish marked by balance and persistence. As Argentina continues to gain recognition for premium Cabernet Sauvignon alongside its celebrated Malbec, Terrazas de Los Andes remains at the forefront of the category. The Grand Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates the quality achievable from Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards, making it an increasingly respected choice among collectors, sommeliers and enthusiasts seeking elegant, age-worthy New World Cabernet. " Highlighted for its sleek, focused profile featuring ripe dark cherry, plum, and mocha, leading into a refined finish." -- Wine Spectator |
