Estate Cabernet Franc

Mendoza Cabernet Franc

The Benegas Estate Cabernet Franc hails from the renowned winegrowing region of Mendoza, Argentina. This exquisite red wine embodies the essence of Old World elegance with a New World vibrance. Upon pouring, it reveals a deeply inviting ruby hue that promises a rich tasting experience. On the nose, it immediately captivates with intricate aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and delicate floral notes, beautifully woven with hints of tobacco and a touch of graphite. The first sip delivers a medium-plus body that feels silky yet satisfyingly robust on the palate. Its well-structured tannins provide a firm backbone, while the lively acidity ensures a fresh and harmonious balance. As the flavors unfold, you will savor layers of juicy blackcurrant, plum, and subtle spice, leading to a lingering, refined finish. The Benegas Estate Cabernet Franc is a testament to Mendoza's exceptional terroir and craftsmanship, making it an outstanding choice for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated and thoroughly enjoyable wine experience.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
