Potro de Piedra Gran Reserve Cabernet Franc – Cabernet Sauvignon

Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Cabernet Franc

Location: Curicó Valley

Altitude: 200 M.A.S.L.

Alcohol: 14% ABV

Tasting Note: An intense and brooding nose: warm liquorice, tobacco smoke and caramelised fruit. The palate is full bodied with firm tannins and a bracing structure. There is plenty of flavour here too; plums, black cherry, crème de cassis and wild strawberries. This is a serious and well-made wine.

Vinification: A warm fermentation and maceration takes place over 30 days with regular pigeage and remontage. The wine is then aged in new French oak for 18 months.

Vegetarian: Yes

Vegan: Yes

Food Match: This calls for something big, rich and meaty. Herb crusted beef rib, venison with red wine jus or just T-bone steak cooked over flame.
