San Felipe Roble Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

We are used to thinking of Cabernet Sauvignon as a grape variety grown in our latitudes, rustic just enough, capable of expressing itself in wines of the highest level. Bodega La Rural, in this case, takes Cabernet Sauvignon plants all the way to the foothills of the Andes, south of the city of Mendoza. Here the special microclimate allows for the harvest of grapes of exceptional quality, capable of producing typical wines with an unmistakable stylistic signature. Bodega la Rural offers this San Felipe Roble Cabernet Sauvignon, the child of careful vinification of the best grapes that arrived at the winery after the harvest. Temperature-controlled fermentation and as many as 18 days of maceration allow color and fragrance to be extracted, which is then refined through slow maturation in American oak barrels. This delicate phase lasts for about nine months, resulting in a wine characterized by a beautiful deep red color, with clear notes of red and dark fruits and sweet spices. In the mouth, then, it reveals itself in all its power. Good structure, pleasant tannin, this red enjoys a long persistence that prolongs the pleasure of each sip for several seconds. It is the red to propose to our guests when the evening promises to be pleasant. From aperitifs with cured meats and cheeses to savory first courses to meaty main courses, there are many opportunities to appreciate this interesting Argentine red.
