Mendoza IG Cheval Des Andes 2012 Terrazas de los Andes

Cheval des Andes is the result of the experience of Château Cheval Blanc , in terms of winemaking and assembly, and that of Terrazas de los Andes , in terms of viticulture at high altitudes. This wine is in fact born in vineyards located on the slopes of the Andes, a wonderful Argentine terroir famous for the production of high quality wines.

It is produced 60% with Malbec grapes, 35% with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and 5% with grapes of other complementary vines, harvested only by hand. The wine ages in barriques for 18 months, and for a further 18 months in bottle. This wine through its unique style, perfectly expresses the Franco-Argentine essence.

The Chavel des Andes is characterized by an intense red color, with bright reflections. The nose opens with a fresh aromatic bouquet, with aromas of cliegia and black currant, enriched with pleasant spicy laurel notes. On the palate it is elegant, with a complex body and pleasantly silky and lively tannins. The wine has a seductive acidity and a long persistence.

Perfect as a meditation wine, it is ideal in combination with first courses and red meats.
