Bramare Cabernet Sauvignon

Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce.

Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Traditional grape growing region in Mendoza, situated at high elevation of 3,250 to 3,470 feet (990 to 1,060 meters). Semi-desert climate. Low-nutrient gravelly soils provide ideal conditions for producing high quality grapes. This season was influenced by La Niña and consequently it was significant drier, in contrast to the 2016 growing season. In spring the average temperatures were lower than histoircal, registering four events of late frosts that affected yields. February started fresh and rainy, delaying the harvest, starting finally on February 2016 and ending on April 20. Good weather conditions during harvest season allowed us harvesting grapes of excellent quality and health conditions.

Aging for 18 months in new French oak (20%) and new American oak (10%) in combination with second use oak (70%). Bottled in March 2018. Unfined and unfiltered.
