Terrazas
Winery - Mendoza, Argentina.
In the past, Chandon Argentina made only sparkling
and generic still wines, however at the beginning of the '90's
fuelled by a political system more orientated towards an international
market, a varietal wines project was born, to which Terrazas
has now become the reality. Situated in Perdriel (Luján
de Cuyo, Mendoza), there is an old Spanish style winery that
was used by Pedro Domecq to create his brandy. Renaud Poirier
asked Domecq if he could use his equipment to make the first
experimental vintages, between 1957 and 1959. Thirty years
later Terrazas de los Andes was born, a tributary of Chandon
Argentina dedicated exclusively to the production of varietal
wines.
