BenMarco Cabernet Franc

Los Chacayes, Uco Valley, Mendoza

Tasting Notes

Red color and purple hues. It displays aromas of spices and dry grass with a slight earthy character, such as chalk. It also has a subtle vegetable trace in the mid-palate, complemented by fine, precise tannins. It is a wine of great aging potential, and it is better to let it air for a while in the glass before drinking.

Game meat, baby goat, venison, duck and dishes with earthy, rustic flavors such as portobello, black olives and grilled red peppers.

Cold-maceration at 8°C (46°F) for 48 hours. Fermentation with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 12°C (54°F). Two daily push-downs. Maceration lasted 26 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred 100% in barrels. Aged 11 months in second-use French oak barrels.
