Cheval des Andes - Mendoza - Red - 2013 - 1500 ml :

 

Cheval des Andes: A New World Grand Cru with Bordeaux Pedigree

Cheval des Andes represents a prestigious collaboration between the revered Château Cheval Blanc (Premier Grand Cru Classé A of Saint-Émilion) and Terrazas de Los Andes. It is a benchmark Argentine red, expertly blending the finesse of Bordeaux with the concentrated fruit and high-altitude freshness of Mendoza.

Tasting Notes: Elegance Meets Intensity

Crafted predominantly from old-vine Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is a masterclass in balance and structure:

• Appearance: Deep, rich, dark ruby hue.
• Aroma: A luxurious nose revealing layers of black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum, underscored by complex tertiary notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and subtle baking spice from French oak.
• Palate: Full and opulent, yet beautifully refined. It features sculpted, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries the dark fruit through a remarkably long, dry finish. A wine built for the cellar, delivering both power and poise.

Food Pairing & Service

To fully appreciate its complexity, this wine should be decanted for a minimum of one hour. Serve with premium cuts of meat to complement its structure and intensity.

• Serving Temperature: 17°C.
• Recommended Decanting: 60 - 90 minutes.
