Altaluvia Cabernet Franc - Gualtallary - Red - 2019 :

 

Gualtallary's Grand Cru: A Premium Cabernet Franc

The Cabernet Franc - Gualtallary Red Altaluvia is a stunning example of Argentine winemaking from the prestigious, high-altitude vineyards of Bodega Doña Paula. Cultivated at 1,350 meters above sea level on distinctive calcareous soils, this wine is a true reflection of the Gualtallary sub-region - considered by many to be Mendoza's finest terroir.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: A deep, brilliant ruby red.
• Nose: Refined and complex, offering concentrated aromas of red berry fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), a subtle herbaceous lift typical of Cabernet Franc, complemented by notes of sweet spice, cocoa, and tobacco from 16 months in French oak.
• Palate: Powerful on the attack, evolving into a silky, elegant mid-palate. The tannins are firm and long, yet remarkably smooth. The vibrant minerality is the hallmark of Gualtallary, providing a magnificent freshness that ensures great balance and longevity.
• Finish: Extended and spiced, with a refreshing, cool-climate feel.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An exceptional wine for a fine dining occasion. Decant for at least an hour. Serve with classic Sunday roast or rich game dishes between 16 and 18°C.
