From the sun-drenched vineyards of La Consulta in Mendoza's Uco Valley, this Cabernet Franc exemplifies the elegance and depth achievable in Argentina's high-altitude terroirs. Harvested manually in the second week of April, the 30-year-old vines yield grapes that are vinified with meticulous care: a cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, and a 25-day maceration period. Notably, 35% of the wine is aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity, before a further eight months of bottle aging.
In the glass, it presents a deep garnet red hue. The nose is greeted with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries and blueberries, combined with spicy notes. On the palate, it offers a complex and elegant profile, with soft and gentle tannins that emphasize its distinctive style.
