picture of

Intense, ruby red color. Dark red fruits accompanied by herbs and other complex tones. The maturing on French oak brings out secondary flavors such as chocolate, cocoa and a hint of leather. Its round character and body confirm the optimum ripeness of the grapes. The long, balanced and elegant finals characterize this typical Cabernet Franc from cool areas.

Grilled or roasted red meat, veal, Pollo assado, Ossobuco and other southern stews.

The summers are hot and dry and can reach 40 ° C. But the nights easily cool 15-20° C. This will remain the wines refreshing and elegant. Winters are moderate and the protection of the Andes rarely causes night frost. Irrigation with melt water.
