Sensual Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Overview
 |
Very attractive ruby-red hue. Spicy aromas of black pepper and red pepper, with seductive hints of ripe berries. It is an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. Smooth, full-bodied wine, with some fresh mineral notes, and tastes that mimic the aromas. Balanced acidity. The above leads to a soft and complex finish with pleasing fruit and spices on the palate and great volume on the finish. |
Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The vineyards for these wines are located in San Rafael, Mendoza at 750 meters above sea level, in sandy-calcareous soils of alluvial origins. Hand-picked and twice sorted by hand, the grapes for Sensual Cabernet Sauvignon are crushed, fermented at controlled temperatures of 82.4° F in stainless steel tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Very gentle, periodic pumping over is conducted, with 7-10 days’ total maceration and natural stabilization. Twenty five percent of the wine spends three months in contact with medium-toasted French oak staves. It spends a further 3 months in bottle before shipping.
Serving Hints
The perfect accompaniment to a wide range of foods, especially the steaks and beef that are typical of Argentine cuisine.
