BODEGAS TERRAZAS

The ‘Terrazas’ from Bodegas Terrazas originates from the high-altitude growing areas at the foot of the Andes where their winery is situated. Terrazas de los Andes are pioneers in altitude winemaking. The winery was formed in 1999 by Moët & Chandon subsidiary Bodegas Chandon.

The winemaking and vineyard team at Bodegas Terrazas have over 100 years of combined experience in winemaking, stretching from Europe to Mendoza. Each member of the team contributes towards the evolution and style of their wines.
