Finca La Anita Cabernet Franc

2024

100% Cabernet Franc

 

Vineyard

1.9 hectares located at 1,100 meters above sea level in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza.

 

Winemaking

Grapes are harvested at their point of maximum varietal typicity. In stainless steel tanks, a cold pre-fermentative maceration is carried out for 3 days, followed by fermentation at 24–28°C for 7 days. Once fermentation is complete, an extended maceration on the skins is carried out for 7 days. Malolactic fermentation is conducted in tank for 6 days.

 

Aging

Sixty percent of the wine is aged for 9 months in second- and third-use French and American oak barrels before being bottled.

Tasting Notes

It displays a deep ruby color with violet hues. On the nose, it is complex and powerful, with a predominance of black fruits, accompanied by its characteristic roasted red pepper and spicy notes. On the palate, it is structured and full-bodied, with ripe tannins, good concentration, and medium acidity that supports balance.

 

Pairing

Ideal to pair with high-fat meats such as pork with thyme and rosemary, spiced slow-cooked dishes, and semi-aged cheeses such as Gouda, Gruyère, or Fontina.
