Alpasión Grand Cabernet Franc

Aged in French Bordeaux style barrels for approximately 12 months.

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.

A perfect synergy of both the old and new world.
