Pulenta Estate is renowned for crafting wines of elegance and finesse, and their Gran Cabernet Franc XI is a testament to Argentina’s growing reputation for this noble variety. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, where warm days and cool nights ensure perfect ripening, this is a Cabernet Franc of remarkable balance and depth.
Expressive and seductive, the nose bursts with wild blackberry, ripe plum, and cassis, interwoven with delicate floral notes, graphite, and a touch of green pepper—hallmarks of the variety. Aged in French oak, the palate is silky yet structured, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a lingering finish of dark chocolate, cedar, and savoury spice. There’s an effortless sophistication here, a wine that is powerful yet poised, with the potential to age gracefully over the years.
A stunning example of an Argentinian Cabernet Franc.
