Terrazas De Los Andes

Terrazas de Los Andes is a winery based in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina's most recognized wine region. The estate focuses on red wine production, utilizing the high-altitude terroir of the Andes foothills. Luján de Cuyo earned Argentina's first Denominación de Origen Controlada (DOC) status in 1993, establishing its reputation as a premium wine-producing area.

Luján de Cuyo sits at elevations between 900 and 1,100 meters above sea level, where the combination of intense sunlight, significant diurnal temperature variation, and well-draining alluvial soils creates ideal conditions for red grape cultivation. The region's continental climate features warm days and cool nights, allowing grapes to develop concentrated flavors while maintaining natural acidity. These conditions particularly favor Malbec, which has become Argentina's flagship variety, as well as Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon.

The winery's current portfolio demonstrates their focus on these classic red varieties, producing single-varietal Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon wines alongside 'Cheval des Andes', a Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. This range reflects the typical approach of premium Mendoza producers who leverage both Argentina's signature grape and internationally recognized varieties.
