Tasting notes : Cheval des Andes 2021

Cheval des Andes represents the essence of a fresh vintage in the Mendoza region. In the glass it presents a delicate and brilliant ruby red tone with garnet glints that add depth to the sight.

On the nose, this wine offers a fine complexity. Initially, a fragrant blend of spices captivates the senses, gradually evolving into a rich and varied aromatic palette. Here, floral notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and violets intertwine with the freshness of red and forest fruits. Currants, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries emerge as protagonists, granting this bouquet of incomparable freshness."

On the palate, this wine is distinguished by its elegance and delicacy, its acidity and freshness emerge as two of its most outstanding attributes. Its unique texture, characterized by silky tannins typical of a fine integration of wood, merge with a lingering finish that faithfully reflects the richness of its initial aromas.

Cheval des Andes 2020, born in a historic warm vintage in Mendoza keeps its oneness freshness, elegance and aging potential.
