From the prestigious Mendoza region, Cheval des Andes 2019 is a captivating blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted to showcase the best of both varieties. The high-altitude vineyards, with their ideal combination of sunlight and cool nights, impart depth, freshness, and balance to the wine, making it a standout expression of Mendoza’s terroir.

The 2019 vintage opens with aromas of dark fruit—blackberry, black cherry—interwoven with floral notes and hints of tobacco, leather, and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with firm, well-integrated tannins providing structure while allowing the fruit to shine. The acidity keeps the wine vibrant, ensuring a long, balanced finish with lingering notes of dark fruit, cedar, and a touch of earthiness.

Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, lamb, or rich stews, this wine is an excellent choice for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for further development, Cheval des Andes 2019 offers a complex and elegant experience that showcases the power and finesse of Mendoza.

"The 2019 Cheval des Andes is a 50/50 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira, Mendoza. The 2019 was 40% aged in 225-liter barrels, 40% in 500-liter barrels and 20% in foudres. It’s red with violet flecks in the glass. It has a fresh nose of plum and blackcurrant accompanied by hints of white pepper, mint and violets over a bed of cedar and sandalwood. On the palate, the feel is finely grained with a leaner, more agile flow than in previous years, while the freshness brings plenty of energy before the lengthy finish of fruit and country herb aromas." —Vinous

"Smooth and so seductive, I love the texture here, supple but silky. Tannis give structure and support and the focus is on perfumed red and black fruits with a richness and concentration yet liveliness from sharp acidity. It doesn't feel at all heavy but sintilates with fragrance and freshness. Easy to drink, lovely detail on show - blackcurrants, red cherries, violets with vanilla and liquorice hints. Very smooth and charming while still being a full wine. This has extreme delectability. Great winemaking on show."
