Antucura Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The idea of this wine was to create the perfect marriage between Argentina and France, between Bordeaux and the Uco Valley. The focus was to create a wine of balance, using the classical identifiers of great Cabernet, but infusing some regional charm. This Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard has rocky, stony soils which means that the vines struggle for moisture. This increases the concentration of their fruit by naturally reducing crop size, berry size and bunch size. They try not to remove leaves during the harvest to avoid direct sun exposure on the clusters. Vines are kept on “life support” throughout harvest season by their drip irrigation system, which allows them to perform high quality, precise viticulture. The typical Vista Flores Cabernet Sauvignon shows hints of spices and sometimes soft black pepper and fresh black fruits and red fruits. With an friendly, warm palate attack and firm, ripe tannins, it has tremendous juiciness and elegance in the mouth.
