Product Notes

From the heart of Argentina's premium wine-making region, Mendoza, is Pulenta Estate's XI Gran Cabernet Franc. This wine is a harmonious blend of richness, soft tannins and well-balanced acidity. On the nose, it delivers a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits interlaced with vanilla, from its maturation in French oak barrels. Its palate offers a medley of black cherries and spices, leading to a long, elegant finish. The XI Gran Cabernet Franc embodies old-world elegance coupled with the bold flavours of the new world, reflecting the terroir impeccably. Unquestionably, a remarkable example of Argentinian Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in color, with an intense aroma of roasted pepper, eucalyptus and spice. Its entrance on the palate is sweet and smooth, due to the presence of round and ripe tannins. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months, giving the wine an elegant and long finish.
