In the 1990s, a French winemaker and agronomist named Hervé Birnie-Scott embarked on a daring expedition to the uncharted territories of the extreme heights of the Andes. Equipped with nothing but a World War II altimeter, Hervé set out to create wines that captured the essence of this mystical mountain range. His tireless pursuit of the ideal altitude to capture the freshness of the Andean magic earned him the nickname "the crazy Frenchman."
Today, Terrazas de los Andes proudly cultivates over 200 high-altitude vine plots, scattered like pieces of a mosaic amidst the breathtaking landscape. With meticulous precision, they employ a state-of-the-art irrigation system that minimizes the use of water from the Andean glaciers. Embracing the focus on Malbec, Terrazas de los Andes crafts full-bodied wines that are both aromatic and elegantly fresh, showcasing the unique character of this remarkable region.
The adventure continues for Terrazas de los Andes. Guided by their unwavering belief in the exploration of new wine frontiers, they remain dedicated to pushing boundaries and uncovering the undiscovered. With a spirit of curiosity and innovation, they strive to unlock the hidden treasures of the Andes, creating wines that captivate and inspire.
