Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Cabernet Franc

Bodegas De Los Clop Paraje Altamira Reserva Cabernet Franc is a sophisticated, deeply concentrated Argentine red wine produced from high-altitude vineyards situated 1,070 meters above sea level in the acclaimed Paraje Altamira appellation of the Uco Valley. Fermented with precision and carefully matured in premium French oak barrels, this estate-grown expression pours a lively and deep ruby-red color enlivened by dramatic black and violet reflections. The intense, highly distinctive aromatic bouquet immediately fills the glass with captivating notes of wild red fruits, fresh eucalyptus, and sweet baking spices, beautifully underscored by classic Cabernet Franc accents of roasted paprika and green bell pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, structured, and aristocratic, presenting a core of succulent dark fruit seamlessly integrated with smooth, fine-grained tannins. An underlying thread of chalky minerality and vibrant natural acidity carries the savory layers gracefully through to a long, persistent, and beautifully balanced finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with herb-crusted roasted lamb chops, grilled pork tenderloin, savory empanadas, wild mushroom risotto, and mature goat's milk cheeses.
