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.

They arrived in La Rioja with the firm intention of creating a project capable of bringing something new to the world of winemaking. This is where an ambitious, vigorous, and unprecedented adventure began. Construction of the winery began four years after its founding and finished in 2001. The facilities were tailored to the needs of Roda wines. In 1992, the winery released its first vintage, and since then, the quality of production has been its top priority. Roda manages 28 top vineyards, all purchased after research into terroir and ecosystems. Each year, only the best grapes are harvested and selected from just 17 of the 28 vineyards. This guarantees the highest quality. Old vines between thirty and ninety years old are used.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Bodega Roda 1 Reserva Rioja with an impressive aroma\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFermentation takes place in temperature-controlled French oak barrels.

This Roda 1 Reserva Rioja has an impressive aroma; we noted notes of black fruit, vanilla, black pepper, cherry, and much more. The palate is a feast for the eyes, full and complex, with abundant fruit notes of cherry and blackberry. You can also easily detect a hint of vanilla and spice typical of a true Rioja. The finish is long and complex.

It ranges from the foothills of the Andes to the Pacific coast, making this wine region highly diverse in terms of climate and soil.

Therefore, it is essential that these Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come from old, deeply rooted vines. The climate in which Cabernet Sauvignon grows is perfect, with just the right amount of sun because the vineyard faces north. A light breeze and low nighttime temperatures ensure a balanced growing season. Drip irrigation gently provides the vines with moisture, essential for the Cabernet Sauvignon to mature perfectly.

Here, they are pressed and gently descaled to preserve only the finest aromas from the skins and outer part of the grape. Fermentation takes place in thermo-conditioned tanks at a controlled temperature. Skin maceration lasts ten days, with the fermenting juice regularly recycled from the bottom to the top of the tank to gently integrate the tannins and achieve the desired color. Once fermentation is complete, the grape's natural sugars are completely converted into alcohol. The wine is then racked in cement tanks lined with fiberglass and insulated with cork, where it rests at a post-fermentation temperature of approximately twenty-two degrees Celsius. This temperature triggers a natural process called malolactic fermentation, which transforms the harsh malic acid into a softer lactic acid, a process that takes approximately two months. The wine is aged for two years, partly in Slavonian oak barrels and partly in small, moderately toasted French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is blended in traditional large oak barrels and aged for another twelve months before being released.
