{"product_id":"cheval-des-andes-2018","title":"Cheval des Andes 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d77271;\"\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThe 2018 Cheval des Andes is a blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in small lots in 3,000- to 8,000-liter tanks and matured 40% in 225-liter oak barrels, 40% in 400-liter oak barrels and the remaining 20% in 2,500-liter oak vats for 13 months. Ninety percent of the oak used was French and the rest a blend of Austrian, Slovenian and German oak, 50% of it new. 2018 has been one of the best vintages in recent times in Mendoza, and the wine shows it. It's a cooler vintage, and the wine has improved in freshness and elegance without losing any clout. It's 14.5% alcohol and has a pH of 3.73. This is young, juicy, elegant and balanced and still has some herbal and toasted notes; it's medium to full-bodied, with the creamy and luxurious texture of the modern Bordeaux, ultra fine tannins and a long, dry and precise finish. It's still undeveloped and seems to have all the components and the balance between them for a long and positive development in bottle. With wines like this, I sometimes wish I had a time machine so I could see them in 20 years from now... I think this is the finest Cheval des Andes I've ever tasted. 100,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #d77271;\"\u003e- The Wine Advocate, 98 points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheval des Andes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42435631022248,"sku":"ARG00090019","price":147.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/3316\/6248\/files\/yourwinefixChevaldesAndes2018.png?v=1749449720","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-clique.com\/products\/cheval-des-andes-2018","provider":"Wine Clique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
