About this wine
Produced in the high-altitude vineyards of Argentina's renowned Uco Valley, Flechas de los Andes Gran Cabernet Franc is a refined expression of one of Mendoza's most exciting grape varieties. Created by the prestigious Edmond de Rothschild family, this wine combines the freshness and elegance that Cabernet Franc is known for with the concentration and purity that only high-altitude vineyards can deliver.
Deep ruby in colour, the nose opens with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and red cherry, alongside classic notes of red pepper, violet, tobacco, cedar and subtle spice. Careful oak ageing adds layers of vanilla and toast without overwhelming the fruit.
The palate is silky and beautifully structured, offering vibrant dark fruit, savoury herbs and mineral freshness, supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish. It is a wine that balances richness with precision and has excellent ageing potential.
A superb partner for grilled ribeye steak, roast lamb, venison, duck breast or mature hard cheeses.
