Casarena Lauren's Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2019 comes from the Lauren vineyard, located in one of the coolest areas of Agrelo, on clay-sandy soils in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Hand-harvested, it is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels with 30% first-use wood. In 2022, Tim Atkin MW named it Argentine Wine of the Year, awarding it 95 points and praising a balanced, refined wine with aromas of dill and sage. Casarena, founded in 2008, works this parcel with extreme attention to biodiversity.

On the nose, aromas of cherry, blackberry, grilled asparagus, and red bell peppers. The palate is structured and lively, with well-integrated tannins providing balance and depth. A perfect accompaniment for a beef stir-fry with bell peppers or pasta with wild mushrooms and truffle. Aging potential of 10 years and more.
