"Dark stone fruit, cedar, currant leaf on the nose, palate is generous and ripe tuned. Blueberries and spices, great tannic frame and acid lift too. Complex and long. The high altitude of the vineyard allows for the green pepper notes to be very soft, elegant and subtle. A beautiful example of how this Bordeaux varietal expresses itself in Valle de Uco. Ripe red and black fruits with hints of fresh bell peppers and herbs.
Aged in French Bordeaux style barrels for approximately 12 months. A perfect synergy of both the old and new world.
Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service."

Located in the Chacayes region and surrounded by the suggestive landscapes typical of the Mendoza wine region, the Alpasion winery was founded by a group of friends with a great passion for wine. Today the company, which extends over 85 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards, produces high-quality wines based on Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah. The estate is also a wine tourism destination, with a lodge and restaurant.
The Cabernet Franc grapes for this wine are selected and harvested manually from 6-year-old vines located 1,200 meters above sea level in the Los Chacayes, Tunuyan area. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a period of maceration, the wine is then aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels.
