From vines nestled right up against the sheer Andes above, the Los Chacayes desert fruit shines through in pure form in this delicious expression of Cab Franc. Rich in flavours of belonging.
 
The grapes are chilled once they get into the winery before they go into a pre fermentation maceration process for 2 days. Fermentation process takes place and then a third of the juice is separated and goes into French oak, while the remaining volume stays in stainless steel tanks for 12 months before blending and bottling.
 
A nose of goji berry, red pencil shavings and tomato skin. On the palate its juicy structured and bright, with texture and gently grippy length of its Los Chacayes (high Uco Valley) provenance.
Food match
Sundried tomato linguine, very hard cheese and the better done corners of a filet steak.
