the world and numerous journalists did not
hesitate to cross the ocean to attend such an
exceptional event. Upon arrival at Barreal, the
guests enjoyed a good night’s rest before
moving on to this magical place where of
course, the best wines were served, among
which was to be found the 2002 Cheval des
Andes, considered by the vineyard owners of
Las Terrazas to be made from the best Malbec
vintage ever harvested in living memory. It
was a day of sheer pleasure during which
players and spectators thrilled to the sound
of the horses galloping across the pampa with
only the snow-capped Andes on the horizon.
A little later, a Gala evening was held, and
continued until late into the night, under the
starry skies of the Pampa. Now everybody is
wondering how the next Cheval des Andes
event could possibly be more spectacular than
this year’s.
