La Coste de Los Andes
Argentina Depth Born of High-Altitude Precision
Mirroring the creative vision of Chateau La Coste, its Provençal sister estate, La Coste de los Andes takes root in the dramatic landscape of Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Located at the foot of the mountains, these organically farmed, high-altitude vineyards thrive on intense sunlight and cool alpine nights. This unique climate ensures a slow ripening process, yielding grapes with exceptional concentration balanced by a vibrant, natural freshness.
The estate relies on minimalist intervention and precise, parcel-by-parcel vinification to let the rugged terroir speak clearly. Ageing in a thoughtful mix of oak, concrete, and amphorae, their signature Malbecs, powerful reds and elegant whites emerge deeply textured and refined—seamlessly combining Argentinian power with Old World sophistication.
