Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.
Central Mexican wine state among the highest vineyards in the country (~2,000 m, up to 2,250 m), semi-arid climate with large thermal swings. Cabernet Sauvignon signature as red king: structured and concentrated with blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, pepper and sweet spice hint, firm tannins and brilliant high-altitude fruit. Dense Malbec (blackberry, violet) and spicy Nebbiolo in reds. Ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
