Tasting Notes
This Argentine Cabernet Franc is a rich purple tone in the glass. It offers an intense nose of wild berries, dried herbs and sweet spices. The refined palate suggests red fruit, eucalyptus and mint with a hint of balsamic. The tannins are elegant and sweet, rounding out to a persistent finish.
Vineyards
The estate grapes for this Reserva Cabernet Franc are grown in the Barrancas region of Maipú, approximately 2,400 feet above sea level.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested, then cold macerated for 72 hours. The wine was then fermented in stainless steel tanks and macerated for 15-20 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in new oak barrels (20% French oak, 80% American oak), then aged in the bottle for 6 months prior to release.
