Background: Terra Andina wines constantly received awards from the Annual Wines of Chile Awards. The wines were also featured in Food & Wine magazine as well as NBC's TV show as "Best Wine Value". Acquired in 2001 by the Claro wine group, Terra Andina is an innovator within the Chilean wine industry. By blending grapes from different valleys with different micro-climates and soil conditions, Terra Andina takes full advantage of the richness and diversity of the different regions. The brand’s style lies on the production of expressive wines, which hold the traditional harmony and subtlety of the old world, while highlighting the warm concentration of fruity expressions of new world terroirs.

Tasting notes: The wine inside is velvety, soft and juicy. It has notes of plums, blackcurrants and slight hints of cassis on the nose. The texture is smooth, rich and well balanced.
