<p>Mild and dry with higher-than-average temperatures, the 2018 harvest will be memorable for Terrazas de los Andes, with the grapes reaching their full fruity expression while maintaining acidity.</p><p>Offering fresh aromas of citrus and lime blossom, white flowers and a hint of toast from oak aging, this is a wine with great balance, versatility and complexity.</p><p>Characterized by fruits of exceptional quality, the 2018 harvest produced grapes with great concentration and acidity. Grown in the Uco Valley, 4,100 feet above sea level, the chardonnay (100%) grapes in this wine were hand-harvested and the wine aged in oak (60%) and stainless steel (40%) before spending another three months in the bottle.</p><p>The latest Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay continues to surprise me every day. Its fantastic level of natural acidity allows us a subtle winemaking, which results in a very elegant white. During blind wine tastings, I remember many people were surprised by its French-driven style!</p><p><em>“Brimming with fresh curry-leaf and struck-match aromas, this is a wine with a very distinctive (‘reductive’) character. It’s well judged, though, and has just enough fruit weight to balance the toasty, savoury overlay. A food wine – put it with chicken and mushroom pie or a chunk of cheddar.
