Product description

Sombrero Cabernet Franc 2021 is a refined and expressive red from the high-altitude vineyards of Valle de Uco, one of Argentina’s most exciting and premium wine regions. Cool nights, intense sunlight and mineral-rich soils allow Cabernet Franc to shine here, delivering freshness, aromatic complexity and elegant structure.

The 2021 vintage offers a beautifully balanced style — vibrant fruit, gentle spice and polished tannins — showcasing a modern, terroir-driven expression of Cabernet Franc with depth and finesse.

Aroma

Fresh and aromatic, with notes of red cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant, layered with hints of violet, green herbs, black pepper and subtle graphite.

Palate

Medium to full-bodied, smooth and well-defined. Flavours of ripe red berries, plum and cassis are complemented by herbal notes, gentle spice and a touch of cocoa.
The tannins are fine and structured, while the acidity keeps the wine lively and elegant.
The finish is long, fresh and lightly savoury, with a distinctive Cabernet Franc lift.

A poised, expressive wine that combines freshness with depth.
