This powerfully elegant argentinean Malbec originates from the highest part of our Los Cerezos high-altitude vineyard, in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo. Planted in 1929 in the rocky, loamy soil of single plot No.10’s westernmost part, our deep-rooted, low-yielding vines bring forth and concentrated grapes with incredible balance. Los Cerezos means ‘cherry trees’, in Spanish. And, shaped by its mountain terrain, our single-Parcel Terrazas de los Andes Mendoza red wine from Los Cerezos, combines dark cherry intensity with a rich and velvety mouthfeel.
This Argentina red wine shows a deep ruby red color with purple highlights. This exponent showcases the flagship aromas of Las Compuertas Malbec: an excellent combination of red and black fruit like raspberry, blackberry, plum and cherry. Sweet and gentle entrance with round tannins that intensify the mid-palate with a velvety texture. Balanced, kind and long finish.
Ideal to combine with roasted or grilled red meat like kid, lamb or wild boar and grilled vegetables like bell peppers, tubers, carrot or cabbage. It goes very well with Gruyere or blue cheese and fruity desserts with blackberries, rhubarb, plum and figs.
