This 1500mL bottle of Cheval des Andes 2011 is a true expression of the Argentinian terroir, produced with meticulous care by the renowned winery, Cheval Des Andes. The deep ruby hue of this wine immediately catches the eye, hinting at the rich and complex flavors to come. On the nose, one is greeted with intense aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, with a touch of oak and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with velvety tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and earthiness. Notes of black currant, tobacco, and leather dance on the tongue, leading to a long and elegant finish. This vintage is a true representation of the potential of Argentinian wines, and a must-try for any wine lover.
Winemakers Notes
Cheval des Andes, the "grand cru" of the Andes
Cheval des Andes, is the fruit of a fusion between two cultures combining the vision and expertise of Château Cheval Blanc with high altitude wine-growing in the Mendoza region. Under challenging climatic conditions, this is where Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon unite in a blend which is born at the foot of the Andes mountain range.
Conceived in 1999, this vision of wine growing is completely unusual as it combines two very different "terroirs" such us Las Compuertas in Lujan de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in Uco Valley, coupled with two legendary grape varieties and a desire to create complexity out of diversity. Today, the vision of committed viticulturists has been achieved through twenty years of daily care in these unique vineyards which now produce a genuine "grand cru" of the Andes. As the vision is accomplished, the edges are polished; freshness, balance and complexity become the cornerstones of Cheval des Andes.
