Terrazas de los Andes

Hervé Birnie Scott, a french Agronomist Engineer and Enologist started his career late 80's as globetrotter of the wine world, working harvests in the US, Australia, NZ and France. In 1991 he left his comfortable job in Napa to embark on a new adventure in the remote and arid province of Mendoza with a “carte blanche” from the LVMH group to challenge the status quo to produce world class wines.

Marcos was born and raised in Mendoza, surrounded by wine tanks and presses, with the company of his father. Aged 18, and after completing his internship at Bodega Norton, Marcos knew he wanted to be a winemaker. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the Universidad Católica de Cuyo and started as Head of milling and pressing for Bodegas Chandon. Marcos' vast knowledge is the result of more than 22 years of experience making wines in Argentina and California, working for renowned wineries including Finca Decero and Viñas Doña Paula, and alongside mentors such as Jorge Riccitelli and Paul Hobbs. In 2020, he joined Terrazas de los Andes as Winemaking Director.

Gonzalo started working with Moet Hennessy in 2002 as a technician at Terrazas de los Andes. Then, in 2008, he was included in the technical team of Chandon Argentina as the winemaker in charge of Research and Development. There, he had the opportunity to enhance his creativity and improve his know-how. From the year 2009 until 2011, he was part of the technical team of Bodega Numanthia (Spain) supporting the group during harvest time. Today, Gonzalo Carrasco is the Head Winemaker at Terrazas de los Andes and often travels around the world communicating about Terrazas´ wines.
