Product Notes

Kaiken Obertura Uco Valley Cabernet Franc wine manifests a harmonious blend of robust, ripe fruit character and unique peppery notes sourced from Argentina's esteemed Uco Valley. This luxurious beverage flaunts a rich scarlet hue, with a striking nose of vibrant blackcurrants and subtle hints of earthy spice. On the palate, it unfolds a well-balanced tannin structure, intertwining perfectly with the wine's natural acidity. The vitalising touch of dark chocolate renders a pleasant, lingering finish. Produced by one of Argentina's esteemed wineries, Kaiken, this Cabernet Franc is a brilliant testament to their sterling winemaking prowess. Each sip invites a delightful, sensory exploration.

Tasting Notes

This Cabernet Franc is intense ruby red in colour with elegant purple shades. The nose is complex, with aromas of ripe redcurrants, fresh plums and red pepper combined with spicy notes of black pepper, wild thyme and a hint of menthol. On the palate, it has beautiful fruit concentration balanced by fresh acidity and minerality, reflecting the high-altitude location of the vineyards. The long, elegant finish displays red fruit and spicy notes.
