Product details
Cheval des Andes Malbec Blend Mendoza 2022 is the flagship expression of Cheval des Andes, a prestigious collaboration that brings together the heritage of Bordeaux and the exceptional terroir of Argentina's Mendoza region. Crafted primarily from Malbec alongside classic Bordeaux varieties, this blend reflects the unique character of high-altitude vineyards, where warm days and cool mountain nights encourage remarkable balance and freshness. Carefully composed to unite power with elegance, the 2022 vintage showcases refined structure, precise fruit expression, and seamless oak integration, capturing the harmony between New World vibrancy and Old World sophistication.
On the palate, ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry unfold in layers, complemented by notes of violet, graphite, and subtle spice. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide structure and lift, leading to a long, polished finish with impressive balance and persistence. This versatile Bordeaux-inspired blend pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, wild mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheeses.
