Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, it captures the elegance, concentration, and freshness that have made Cheval des Andes one of Argentina’s most admired premium reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep, intense colour with the dark core you’d expect from a serious Mendoza red. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with ripe blackberry, cherry, and plum, then unfolding into floral notes of violet, along with tobacco, cedar, and subtle spice.\n\nThe palate is both generous and poised, combining the juicy depth of Malbec with the structure and backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Petit Verdot in a more discreet role. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and a long, polished finish give the wine impressive balance and length. With its concentration and structure, it should age beautifully over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheval des Andes comes from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, where dry conditions, abundant sunshine, and marked day-night temperature swings help preserve freshness while building ripe, concentrated fruit. The 2021 vintage benefited from a relatively cool growing season, which contributed to the wine’s elegance, tension, and finely tuned structure. Careful harvesting and precise vinification are key to preserving the purity of fruit and the layered character of the final blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for grilled ribeye, lamb chops, roast beef, game, or rich mushroom dishes. It also works beautifully with hard aged cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if drinking young, to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheval des Andes is the result of a partnership between Château Cheval Blanc in Bordeaux and Terrazas de los Andes in Argentina, created to express the best of both worlds through a grand cru-inspired Argentine wine.
