Benegas 'Luna' Cabernet Sauvignon 14.5% 75cl

From old vines grown at the famous Finca Libertad on the Upper Mendoza Riverbed, on nutrient deficient soils dominated by stones, this is relatively ‘low’ altitude by today’s Mendoza reckoning. And perhaps that partly explains the wine’s tremendous opulence and concentration; that and the old vines of course. 

Deep ruby red with purple hues. Intense aromas of varietal typicity disclosing black fruit, cherries, and soft notes of eucalyptus, pepper and toasted hints. Soft and friendly entrance in the mouth. In the middle, it exhibits balanced, soft ripe tannins. Herbaceous in the end again showing eucalyptus notes. Medium to long persistence.  

This gentle Cabernet Sauvignon underwent pre-fermentative cold maceration, the juice is then fermented in tank, with a further post-fermentative maceration for 2 weeks, building the wine's rich mid-palate structure and deepening its overall complexity. It is then racked and natural malolactic fermentation occurs and finally another 4 months in oak barrels for good measure.
