Winemaker Notes
The 2006 Terra Rosa is the first to utilize fruit from all of the five vineyards we currently farm in Mendoza, from the classic Perdriel vineyard in the southern Lujn region to our top vineyard in San Carlos, deep in the south of the province.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
