Description

Calle Brandsen Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 clearly expresses the classic character of Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, one of Argentina’s historic areas for Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from vineyards located at 950 meters above sea level, this wine reflects a terroir defined by a dry continental climate, excellent sun exposure, and silt and fine sandy soils, ideal for achieving balanced and precise varietal ripeness.

"A fresh and straightforward Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of red and black fruits accompanied by a subtle hint of bell pepper. On the palate it is harmonious, with soft tannins and good acidity, leading to a balanced finish that makes it agile and food-friendly."

A direct and well-defined wine, designed to enjoy the pure varietal expression, with no oak influence and a modern, accessible style.
