With terraces at elevations between 980 m and 1 250 m, the estate cultivates varieties like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. Since inception, it has championed high-altitude mountain terroir, using soil mapping, electrical conductivity, and sustainable practices. As part of the broader Moët \u0026amp; Chandon-Chandon family, the estate balances French winemaking traditions with Andean mountain expression.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe wine is produced under the Terrazas de los Andes banner, leveraging the expertise of their winemaking team trained in Bordeaux techniques.
