Bridges Family Winery Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc

  • Varietal: 100% Cabernet Franc
  • Vineyard: Tunuyan, Valle de Uco
  • Alcohol: 13.9%

Vineyards:

A single vineyard harvest from Dos Puentes´ vineyard, located in the Valle de Uco at 1000mt above sea level. This vineyard benefits from long, sunny growing days and cool nights at the foot of the Andes mountains.

Winemaking:

Harvested by hand in the third week of April; de-stemmed and crushed. Underwent 15 days of fermentation at 25-28C in upright, conical steel tanks. Aged in new French Oak for 9 months.

Tasting notes:

A robust and elegant wine teeming with spice and character. Pronounced aromas of black currants, red and green pepper with floral essences are met with a velvety mouthfeel and well-balanced tannins. Ripe red fruit with notes of vanilla and tobacco fill the palate and leave a long and pleasant finish.
