Pulenta, Cabernet Sauvignon III

Alcohol percentage: 14.5%

Area:
The 135 hectare estate is located in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo. Like all the best Argentine vineyards they are high (average 980m), thus getting a big diurnal temperature range, helping the wines retain freshness and balance.

Grape variety:
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 12 months in French oak (half new).

Producer:
The Pulenta family has been involved in the Argentine viticulture for three generations. Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta are currently holding the reins.

The Bottle Shop rating:
Remarkably easy-going for Cabernet. Aromatic and fresh, but with real richness, depth and a supple, creamy texture.
