IdentityTERRAZAS DE LOS ANDES

Our story began three decades ago, recognizing Mendoza and the Andes' potential to create fine mountain wines. We ventured into the high-altitude terraces of the Andes, where the earth meets the sky.  It was there that Terrazas de los Andes was born.In the following years, our team embarked on an Asension Journey acquiring lands in Mendoza’s best appellations. This journey led us from Las Compuertas, planted in 1929, to El Espinillo, the highest vineyard in the Uco Valley at 1650m.With a deep connection to the mountains and embracing regenerative viticulture, we are committed to being Guardians of Mountain Life, protecting this fragile ecosystem.Crafting sustainably wines with biodiversity as an intrinsic component of the terroir, evoke freshness and native flora notes, capturing the pure taste of the Andes.Our history, commitment, and quest for an elegant style of wine merge into one purpose: to unveil and protect the magic that rest at the terraces of the Andes

    OUR ASCENSION JOURNEY

    Like mountaineers aiming for the summit, Terrazas de los Andes team embarked on an asension journey, discovering lands that would contribute the freshness and elegance to crafting fine mountain wines. They first discovered Las Compuertas, a malbec vineyard of ungrafted vines, planted in 1929 at 1070 m. In the years that followed, they rediscovered the Uco Valley, acquiring Los Castaños vineyard, in Paraje Altamira, planted at 1100 m, followed by Licán, planted in Los Chacayes at 1200 m; and finally, reaching to El Espinillo, in Gualtallary, cultivated at 1650m becoming the highest productive vineyard in the Uco Valley, thus completing this mosaic of high-altitude plots.​

The altitude with its cool mountain climate contributes to the elegance of our wines, the pure meltwater nourishes our vines, the diverse alluvial soils define the character of our grapes, and the native flora and fauna leave a special imprint on our wines. That's why we are committed to being guardians of mountain life.
