Vineyard & winemaking
Hand-harvested in 25 kg baskets in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, at 900 m.a.s.l. Fermented in 50–70 HL tanks at a controlled 25–27 °C with selected yeasts; after a 12–15 day maceration period the wine undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation. 70% of the wine is aged in contact with French and American oak for 8 months, then blended with the remaining 30% pure-fruit wine.
Tasting notes
Intense, bright ruby red color. Good varietal expression and typicity on the nose, with spiced notes of black pepper and clove, fruity notes and cassis cream. Good structure with a broad mid-palate, marked acidity and a long finish.
Food pairing
Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with grilled and roasted red meats, beef, lamb, game, hearty stews, and richly flavored dishes. It also works well with aged cheeses, mushrooms, and dishes featuring herbs, black pepper, or smoky flavors.
