Vintage Report
The 2021 vintage in Argentina was rated an excellent 92 points. Wines from this year, however, can be inconsistent, even among the best producers.
A unique collaboration is how we describe Terres Quero winery. It was head winemaker Bruno Kessler who forged a unique partnership with Los Helechos winery. Los Helechos is no stranger to Argentine viticulture. The winery is highly regarded and produces several top wines from local Mendoza grape varieties. Both men traveled to Argentina to select vineyards for their new project, Terres Quero. They found their happiness in the Terres Quero (Land to Love) vineyards in the Uco Valley.
The enormous height of the vineyard
The label features the Sol de Mayo logo, the national symbol of the Argentine people's independence. This white Chardonnay was also created with this in mind. With love and passion, the Chardonnay bunches are matured at an altitude of 1,100 meters. This results in a relatively cool climate with plenty of sunshine, but also considerable chills from the winds off the Andes and the sharply falling nighttime temperatures. This allows the Chardonnay bunches to grow slowly and evenly, allowing them to draw abundant nutrients from the Argentine soil.The aroma and taste of the Terres Quero Chardonnay
Upon opening the bottle, we smell the aromas of tropical fruit, interspersed with a swarm of citrus and mint. In the glass, this Terres Quero Chardonnay glows light yellow with a golden sheen. Beautiful aromas of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit are complemented by vanilla and licorice. On the palate, this white wine transports you to Argentina. The palate reveals beautiful, full-bodied flavors of the Chardonnay grape, including mango and other tropical fruits. On the palate, nuances of yellow fruit like apricots and peaches develop, complemented by a very long and ripe finish.Product details
