Terrazas De Los Andes

Terrazas de los Andes’ journey to where the earth meets the sky began in the 1990s, when adventurous French viticulturist Hervé Birnie-Scott ventured into the high-altitude terraces of the Andes. Armed only with a WWI-era altimeter, Hervé set out to create fresh, site-specific wines from the most extreme reaches of this magical, mountainous place. This is when he earned the nickname “el loco frances” (the crazy Frenchman) for his years-long quest to capture the pure, fresh taste of the Andes from these high-risk but high-reward elevations.

Today, Terrazas de los Andes farms a breathtaking mosaic of 200+ high-altitude vine terraces, irrigated precisely with pristine glacier water. With Malbec in the spotlight, the wines are full-bodied but elegantly aromatic and bright. The adventure continues: perennially curious and always exploring, Terrazas de los Andes believes that new wine frontiers are yet to be discovered. Terrazas de los Andes©
