WINE DESCRIPTION
Tercos Malbec is a premium wine produced by Bodega Cuarto Dominio in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The grapes are sourced from high altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, which is known for its ideal growing conditions for Malbec. The vineyards are characterized by their rocky soils and cool climate, which contribute to the wine's complexity and structure. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Malbec with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. Tercos Malbec is a great choice for those who appreciate a bold and flavorful wine with a touch of elegance.

ORIGINS
Winery: Tercos
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
