Salentein Barrel Selection Cabernet Franc is a notable Argentinian red wine, renowned for its finesse and elegance. Laden with intense notes of ripe red fruits, plums, and pepper, this wine is wonderfully balanced by oak nuances and spicy aromas from its ageing in French barrels. Vibrant ruby-red in colour, it treats the palate to a resonating finish, intricacies of dark chocolate and mint underlining a rich fruit core. This is an opulent Cabernet Franc, highly expressive and well-structured; a testament to the masterful viticulture of Salentein. It particularly pairs well with roasted meats or mature cheeses, making for an indulgent dining experience.

Tasting Notes

Intense and dark red coloured wine. On the nose it brings typical Cabernet Franc aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry mingled with spicy notes of tobacco. On the palate it is wide and intense, with a lingering finish.
