Tasting Notes
This high-altitude, cool-climate Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary showcases vibrant mountain freshness with a refined structure. Aromas of ripe cassis, fresh herbs, and subtle dried tobacco unfold on the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet elegant, with plush tannins, lifted red fruit, and a signature mineral finish derived from the calcareous soils of the Uco Valley. A wine of purity, finesse, and terroir expression.

| Winery | Vineyard DetailsThe grapes for this Cabernet Franc come from Gualtallary Monasterio, a revered sub-zone of Uco Valley known for its limestone, volcanic ash, and gravel-rich soils. The high altitude and arid, windy conditions result in low yields and high flavour concentration, making this a standout example of Argentinian mountain viticulture. |
