“This is a selection of cabernet franc planted in the late 1990s on the Flechas de Los Andes property in the Uco Valley, and it’s a succulent, voluptuous take on the variety. The herbal touches barely noticeable amidst a layer of well-ripened red and black fruit flavors, and the tannins are friendly, but strong enough to support the weight of that fruit in a winter red.”
~ Patricio Tapia – Descorchados

Cabernet Franc is often used in the production of blended wines, however Pablo Richardi, the winemaker of the estate, has made the bold choice to put the expression of the fruit at the forefront, by proposing this single-variety cuvée “Gran Cabernet Franc”. As a protagonist of many terroirs in the world, Cabernet Franc also flourishes in Argentina. An ideal place to express its full potential. This is a selection of cabernet franc planted in the late 1990s on the Flechas de Los Andes property in the Uco Valley, and it’s a succulent, voluptuous take on the variety. Atypical like its terroir, it will surprise you with its 100% foudre maturation.
Colour: Reddish tones of medium to high intensity.
Aroma: On the nose this wine expresses all the elegance of the varietal; bell pepper and roses, molded by the minerality of the terroir and some slight oak descriptors.
Palate: The mouthfeel has medium intensity and a silky texture. Elegant and delicate finish that makes it possible to enjoy the varietal typicity without overpowering oak. Especially good when paired with grilled crispy sweetbreads with roasted tomatoes with parsley, Meaux brie cheese, Italian spaghetti with tomato sauce or Garlic-baked rabbit with rosemary. Cellar for up to 10 years. Decant for up to an hour before serving.
Grape Varieties: 100% Cabernet Franc
Ageing: Aged 14 months in 100% French oak casks
