Blend and Origin
Cheval des Andes 2012
The 2012 is a blend of 66% malbec, 26% cabernet sauvignon and 8% petit verdot, with some grapes growing in exceptional plots of old vines in Las Compuertas. The fermentation of the grapes happened naturally, allowing for gentle extraction. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels, 30% of which were new, enhancing its complexity and structure.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
