Pulenta Estate, Gran Cabernet Franc 'XI'
£43.50
Description
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 Franc, matured for 18 months in French oak, around a quarter of which is new.
Producer:
The Pulenta family has been involved in the Argentine viticulture for three generations. Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta are currently holding the reins.
Maturity potential:
Drinking well already but we have seen this wine mature gracefully for 10 years, and it would be fine to drink for at least 15.
The Bottle Shop rating:
A lovely balance of classic Argentine richness and power with the understated style of the Cabernet Franc grape.
