Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Belhara

The single vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from selected blocks within the estate’s vineyard in the appellation of Gualtallary in the Valle de Uco, at an altitude of 1350m.

With a red dark hue, the nose is saturated with liquorice, vanilla and spices, while the palate displays round, supple tannins as well as an array of red fruit; cherries and pomegranate. The finish is long and well integrated.

Vinification details

Grapes were hand harvested in selected blocks between 4th and 10th April. Alcoholic fermentation and extended maceration on the skins took place for 25-30 days in open-top barrels with manual punch downs for better extraction and a lush and broad mouthfeel. The wine was then aged in 100% new French oak barrels (Mercurey Tonnellerie) for 16-18 months with gentle racking.
