    Overview

    Terrazas De Los Andes Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 6 X 75cl - CASE DEAL


    Introduction:
    This fresh and fruity Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 25+ parcels from 4 organically farmed, high-altitude estate vineyards. 

    2022 Harvest Notes:
    Terrazas philosophy is to precisely cultivate each parcel individually, up to the picking decision which is done plot by
    plot at their peak of fresh fruit expression. We are usually among the first to harvest, emphasizing elegance over power and avoiding any overripening to preserve the Malbec's bright floral and fruity aromas, together with the natural acidity.

    While 2022 was a quality-focused harvest across the country, it was also a season full of challenges.

    An early January heat wave accelerated ripening and required us to respond with careful, targeted irrigation. In the final ripening period, high temperatures decreased, and we achieved an excellent
    balance between sugar maturity and polyphenolic maturity, preserving a good sugar/acidity ratio. Then, a March surprise: an atypical early frost forced us to speed up the pace of harvest in the highest altitude vineyards. But we were up to the task and obtained remarkable grape quality.

    Winemaking:
    Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested early and fresh, at their peak of fruit expression; as we like to say, "al dente".
    It is gently macerated for a period of 15-20 days, aiming to slowly and precisely extract the right tannic structure of the wine while preserving its fineness.

    Ageing is performed in used French oak barrels for 12 months, while a proportion is kept in tank to preserve fruit freshness and purity.

    Tasting Notes: 
    Fresh red and black fruit scents of redcurrant and blueberries are framed with spicy thyme, rosemary and cardamom notes, all leading to a luscious finish of hazelnut cream, vanilla and caramel.

    The balanced acidity and fruitiness opens with a juicy mouthfeel, rounded by redcurrant flavours and sweet, complex and vibrant tannins.
