WINE CHARACTER
An estate grown wine standing out for its aromatic intensity and complexity, 100% Chardonnay, Mendoza, Argentina.

IN THE WINE LIST
Terrazas Reserva wines are hand-harvested from select estate vineyards of Terrazas de los Andes from the top districts of Mendoza, Argentina at the ideal altitude. Grown at 1200 metres/3900 feet above sea level in the district of Tupungato, Terrazas Reserva Chardonnays adapt well in the cooler high altitudes, with characteristic acidity, freshness and a delicate fruit palate.
