On request only
Cheval des Andes 2016 in magnum is a Mendoza red with a clear sense of identity: Argentine Malbec at its core, shaped through the lens of a Bordeaux-inspired blend. The project brings together Château Cheval Blanc from Saint-Émilion and Terrazas de los Andes in Argentina, and that partnership shows in a wine built around fruit, structure and refinement rather than sheer weight.
The 2016 blend is made from Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, sourced from Cheval des Andes' own high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo and Altamira/La Consulta in the Uco Valley are specifically mentioned, and 2016 is noted as the first vintage composed entirely from the estate's own vineyards. That gives the wine an especially strong sense (…)Cheval Des Andes 2018

Cheval des Andes 2018 is a dry red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, shaped by the meeting of Argentine Malbec and Bordeaux-inspired blending. The 2018 vintage is composed of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, with fruit from Las Compuertas in Lujan de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley.
The project brings together Château Cheval Blanc from Saint-Émilion and Terrazas de los Andes in Mendoza. Established in 1999, Cheval des Andes focuses on combining high-altitude Mendoza vineyards with Bordeaux know-how in selection, vinification and blending. Las Compuertas contributes old ungrafted Malbec vines planted in 1929 at around 1,070 metres, while Paraje Altamira, at about 1,150 metres, adds a cooler origin within the blend.

Cheval Des Andes 2019 is a Mendoza red wine shaped by an unmistakable dialogue between Argentina and Bordeaux inspiration. It comes from the partnership between Château Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, built here on an equal blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Malbec gives the wine its Argentine identity, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings freshness, line and structure.
The fruit comes from Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. For the 2019 vintage, the growing season asked for careful vineyard management, followed by dry conditions and a marked difference between day and night temperatures. In the cellar, each plot was handled separately, allowing the final blend to keep a clear sense of its different origins.

Cheval Des Andes 2020 is a Mendoza red with a very clear identity: Argentine Malbec brought together with Bordeaux varieties through the collaboration between Château Cheval Blanc of Saint-Émilion and Terrazas de los Andes. The 2020 blend is almost evenly divided between Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 2% Petit Verdot, sourced from Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo and Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley.
The vintage was warm and dry, and it produced the earliest harvest in the history of Cheval des Andes. Grapes were brought to the cellar in small crates, manually sorted and vinified parcel by parcel under the one parcel, one tank principle. That detail matters here, because the wine is not presented as a simple ripe Mendoza red; it is built from (…)
