The Cheval des Andes vineyards are located in the wine heart of Argentina, Mendoza. Here, the grape vines are cultivated with great care. From the beautiful vines, you'll see only gems of grapes. This magnificent red wine is a unique Argentinean blend of typical French grape varieties: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. A Bordeaux wine with an Argentinean twist. The vines are all at least 80 years old and therefore produce few, but still perfect, grapes. The high altitude of the vineyards allows the grapes to mature in complete tranquility. The grapes receive ample warmth from the sun, but also the delightful coolness of the night and the wind that blows through the Andes. Meltwater, which slowly drips down from the perpetually snow-capped peaks, creates a natural irrigation system. This ensures the grapes receive sufficient, very pure water. The vineyards' terroir is perfect, and that's clearly evident in this red wine.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe best wine from Argentina\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe collaboration between Cheval Blanc from Saint-Émilion and Terrazas from Mendoza has an additional, unexpected French touch.

You'll understand by now that with these two partners, it's clear that only the best is good enough for the Cheval des Andes grapes. The harvest for this Argentinian red wine is carried out entirely by hand, very early in the morning. This way, the grapes are still dormant and cool, minimizing damage to the skins. The grapes are then transported in small crates to the press, where they are pressed very gently. This process releases only the finest juice. After vinification, this red wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. After bottling, it returns to the Cheval des Andes cellars for 24 months of bottle aging.

This Gran Malbec is more than just Gran; we might as well call it Mega Gran, because this powerful red wine is one of our favorites. In the late 1990s, French winemaker Jean Bousquet had the vision to bring out the best in the Malbec grape and started a new vineyard. At this unique location in the Valle del Uco, Mendoza, the soil was exceptional and the climate perfect. It was a rare spot with many powerful depressions in the soil, allowing the vines to easily develop their roots. The roots are now very deep and can easily absorb moisture from the soil. This is essential in the warm climate of the Valle del Uco. The fresh breeze and cool nights break the heat, ensuring a calm and temperate growing season.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Bousquet Gran Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWhen the grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested, which is very late in the season. Jean Bousquet aims for aromatic and full-bodied grapes and therefore harvests them very late. The downside is that the yield is modest, yet very potent. They are harvested entirely by hand and rigorously selected. Only the finest bunches make it into this bottle of Gran Malbec. After pressing, this red wine is aged for a full twelve months in French oak barrels. Many of the barrels used are new, giving it its strength and notes of vanilla and cedar.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of the Bousquet Gran Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nUpon pouring, we were immediately captivated by the beautiful color of this red wine.

Silky smooth on the palate, refined tannins offer notes of blackberry, spice, and truffle, providing the complexity for a remarkably elegant finish. This lingering finish leaves us eager for another sip of this delicious wine.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775766597711,"sku":"6320","price":20.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/domaine-bousquet-malbec-grande-reserve_6320.webp?v=1770109518"},{"product_id":"la-posta-armando-bonarda","title":"The Post Armando Bonarda","description":"What an outstanding Bonardo from La Posta.

The grape thrives here, resulting in wonderfully smooth wines. This is a somewhat serious variety. This Bonardo is very powerful and therefore also suitable for oak aging. It matures for an impressive ten months in oak barrels, 70 percent French and 30 percent American. All the barrels are used to preserve the fruit's integrity.
