Magna Montis San Pablo Cabernet Franc

Hailing from San Pablo—the cool, high-altitude enclave of Argentina’s Uco Valley—this elegant Cabernet Franc embodies both finesse and freshness. Crafted from 20-year-old vines planted in sandy loam and limestone soils at 1,600 m elevation, the grapes are hand-harvested, fermented naturally in concrete vats for 15 days, then aged for 12 months in a balanced mix of concrete tanks and oak barrels, preserving vibrancy and depth.

Bright and aromatic, this wine opens with vivid red berries, leafy herbs, and a subtle spiciness, while the palate is silky and vibrant, framed by fine-grained tannins and mineral clarity. Noted for its purity of fruit and poised structure, James Suckling awarded it 92 points, praising its “subtle tobacco, roasted spices, paprika and rich, fresh berries” with “good length” and the ability to either enjoy now or let evolve further.
