Bodega Mi Terruno is situated in the picturesque town of San Roque, Maipu - Argentina, and belongs to the Biagorria family who have been involved in the wine industry since the 60s. The goal of the Biagorria brothers is to produce wines of excellent quality, unique expressions of their own terroir.
Organic, vegan, and very sustainabliy produced, the Hipster Animal is meant to be a reinterpretation of Malbec in search of both new and old wine lovers. Ruby red colour and aromas of ripe plums, strawberries, liquorice, cocoa and vanilla. It has a medium body with silky tannins and a juicy, aromatic finish.

Vintage report
The 2021 vintage in Mendoza threw producers a proper curveball with late spring frosts that arrived just when everyone thought they were in the clear. Those chilly mornings in October knocked yields down across the region, particularly hitting Malbec vineyards in the higher-altitude sites of Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. What followed was a growing season of extremes: searingly hot days tempered by those famous Andean temperature swings that keep acidity intact, then a mercifully cool March that allowed extended hang time without the grapes turning to jam.
The result is a vintage of surprising concentration and freshness, where less truly became more. We find the Malbecs show gorgeous depth without the sometimes overwhelming power of hotter years, whilst the high-altitude Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot positively shine with focused intensity. The best wines are drinking beautifully now but have the backbone to cellar well into the 2030s. Those lower yields meant producers had to be selective, but the quality from serious estates is genuinely impressive.
