Este vino nace de la unión entre dos prestigiosas bodegas: Château Cheval Blanc en Francia y Terrazas de los Andes en Argentina, ubicada en las terrazas que emergen al pie de la Cordillera de los Andes. La uva se vinifica en pequeños tanques de acero inoxidable y madura durante 14 meses en barricas de roble con un 50% nuevo.

El vino es joven, jugoso y elegante, con notas herbales y tostadas que aportan complejidad. Tiene una textura cremosa y lujosa, típica del moderno Bordeaux, con taninos ultra finos y un final largo, seco y preciso.

The 2018 Cheval des Andes is a blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in small lots in 3,000- to 8,000-liter tanks and matured 40% in 225-liter oak barrels, 40% in 400-liter oak barrels and the remaining 20% in 2,500-liter oak vats for 13 months. Ninety percent of the oak used was French and the rest a blend of Austrian, Slovenian and German oak, 50% of it new. 2018 has been one of the best vintages in recent times in Mendoza, and the wine shows it. It's a cooler vintage, and the wine has improved in freshness and elegance without losing any clout. It's 14.5% alcohol and has a pH of 3.73. This is young, juicy, elegant and balanced and still has some herbal and toasted notes; it's medium to full-bodied, with the creamy and luxurious texture of the modern Bordeaux, ultra fine tannins and a long, dry and precise finish. It's still undeveloped and seems to have all the components and the balance between them for a long and positive development in bottle. With wines like this, I sometimes wish I had a time machine so I could see them in 20 years from now... I think this is the finest Cheval des Andes I've ever tasted. 100,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020.
