Nido Del tigre, Cabernet Franc 2023
DESCRIPTION
This Cabernet Franc from the Calingasta Valley, with 400 hectares sheltered by mountain ranges and 15 hectares of vineyards, reflects the pioneering spirit of Villa Corral, established over 30 years ago. Crafted with indigenous yeasts and aged in concrete eggs, this wine captures the unique character of the region. Its intense violet hue and distinctive aromas of red pepper, red spices, and barely ripe plums make it a bright and refined Cabernet Franc. A high-quality wine born from the dedication of three generations.
REGION
San Juan
Argentina
Although less well known than Mendoza, San Juan stands out among Argentina's great vineyards. Located in the west of the country, at the foot of the Andes, this region enjoys a desert climate ideal for viticulture. The winemakers of San Juan produce wines of great personality, with Syrah as the flagship grape variety, giving intense, spicy reds. Excellent Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also found here, reflecting the arid, sun-drenched terroir. Thanks to the altitude and temperature variations, the grapes develop good concentration and fresh acidity, making for well-balanced, long-keeping wines. Internationally acclaimed, San Juan wines seduce with their unique character.
