Cheval des Andes Mendoza Argentina, 2017

Product Details

Product Description

Joint venture between Château Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de Los Andes. Depending on the vintage the blend may vary. VIneyard notes: "Cheval des Andes has 50 hectares (123 acres) of vineyards. The altitude, topography and soil composition of the vineyards are different. Las Compuertas lies on gentle slopes at an altitude of 1,070 meters (3,500 feet). It enjoys a unique microclimate with relatively low rainfall, while its altitude allows for a cooler climate with high diurnal temperature variation. It has alluvial, deep silty-loam soils composed of: sand (36%), limestone (48%) and clay (16%). Stones at 1,5m to 2,5meters depth, which add minerality to the wines. Las Compuertas is not as cool as the Uco Valley and the parts of this vineyard with deeper soil are particularly well-suited for Cabernet Sauvignon because greater depth favours optimum maturity of this varietal. The zones with less deep soils are ideal for producing unctuous Malbec. La Consulta is located at an altitude of 1,100 meters (3,600 feet). Its alluvial soils are composed of: sand (60%), clay (10%) and limestone (30%)."
