Gran Reserva Red Wine

2007 Patagonia Cabernet Franc

Humberto Canale Gran Reserva Red Wine, a splendid example of Cabernet Franc from the renowned Patagonia region, enchants with its deep garnet hue that invites exploration. The 2007 vintage showcases a full-bodied profile that pairs beautifully with its high acidity, offering a refreshing and vibrant character. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry, beautifully complemented by subtle hints of spice and herbal undertones. The tannins are notably firm yet refined, providing a structured mouthfeel that enhances the wine’s depth and complexity. With a dry finish, this Gran Reserva presents a delightful balance, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated red that can elevate any occasion.

Region:

Patagonia

The southernmost tip of Argentina is perfecto for growing cool-climate grapes. Patagonia's altitude, arid conditions and Antarctic influence result in wines with uniquely intense color and flavor. Pinot Noir is the standout variety, creating vibrant wines with glorious red fruit characters. Argentina's ever-reliable Malbec is a stalwart here, too, channeling the long, slow ripening season into gloriously bold yet elegant wines. But it was the early European-style Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons from the Rio Negro and Neuquen area in the north that initially put Patagonia on the wine map. These unspoiled valleys with their mineral-rich rivers produce wines as distinctive as the unique terroir that creates them.
