Juana Cabernet Franc is produced from a vineyard located in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, on the highest area of the Mendoza river - Mendoza, at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level.
The wine shows an intense bright velvety red color. The bouquet reveals a complex expression of fresh berries followed by hints of floral aromas. The palate displays some smoked and vanilla flavors from the oak barrels. It is rich and balanced in the mouth with an elegant tannic structure and long fresh fruit finish.
Excellent when paired with red meats, pasta with spicy sauces, matured cheeses.
"Stewed cherries, cassis and fresh rosemary on the nose, followed by toffee notes on the palate. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Creamy and polished with lots of ripe fruit, yet it remains fresh. Drink or hold."
