Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Trade Tools
Argentina / Lujan de Cuyo
Specially reserved due to its exceptional features, Reserva wine is characterized by its elegance and complexity. It is made from carefully selected grapes from vineyards between 30 and 50 years old. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels and then additionally in bottles before release. The harmonious coexistence of fruit and wood over time has made this a great wine, characterized by elegance and complexity.
Harvest Note
The 2018 vintage was marked by higher volumes, but with optimal ripeness. The quality of the grapes was on par with previous very good-rated vintages. The summer started out warm but then cooled off during the harvest months of February, March and April. This, in addition to the low rainfall, gave rise to early ripening in the fruit, with beautiful natural acidity. The aromatic expression and smooth tannins show clearly that the 2018 vintage wines are excellent representations of the unique terroirs of Mendoza.
Tasting Note
Vibrant ruby color. Complex aromas of ripe red fruits and mint, with dark chocolate notes. Highly concentrated on the palate with round, ripe tannins and a long, spicy finish.
