A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME: THE ANCIENT VINES AND RICH HISTORY OF ANDESINE'S TERROIR
For a luxury wine like Andesine, the essence of the heart of the Andes is not only captured in its blend of carefully selected grape varieties but also in the rich history and ancient vines that define its terroir. As we delve into the storied past of Andesine's vineyards in Gualtallary, El Peral, and Las Compuertas, we discover the unique characteristics that each of these regions contributes to the complexity and elegance of this remarkable wine.
Nestled in the Uco Valley at an elevation of 1350 meters above sea level, Gualtallary's high-altitude vineyards are renowned for their minerality and bright acidity. The cool climate, marked by significant diurnal temperature variations, allows the grapes to develop concentrated flavours and elegant tannins. Gualtallary's alluvial sandy and silty soils, enriched with calcareous gravel, further accentuate the distinctive character of Andesine's Pinot Noir and Malbec grapes from this region.
In the heart of Tupungato, El Peral's vineyards have flourished since 1995. The region's unique climate and soil composition combination contribute to the intense fruit flavours and well-structured tannins that define the Malbec grapes grown here. El Peral's sandy loam soils and moderate climate, characterized by a daily temperature range of 16.2°C, create the perfect conditions for the development of rich, expressive wines that form an integral part of Andesine's blend.
With a winemaking heritage dating back to 1918, Las Compuertas boasts some of the oldest vines in Mendoza. Situated at an elevation of 1010-1090 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from the Mendoza River's alluvial influence. Their stony, clay soils provide an ideal environment for the cultivation of elegant, complex Malbec grapes. The timeless beauty of Las Compuertas' ancient vines is reflected in the character and depth of Andesine's wine.
The diverse terroirs of Gualtallary, El Peral, and Las Compuertas combine perfectly to create Andesine's luxurious blend. The rich history and ancient vines of these regions weave a tapestry of flavours and aromas that captivate the senses and transport the drinker to the very heart of the Andes.
