Finca La Colonia Cabernet Sauvignon - Textbook New World Cabernet Sauvignon with its aromas of ripe fruit; plums, blackberries and strawberries. Very good structure and balance. Perfectly able to partner a host of robust red meat dishes as well as veggie arrangements of a more assertive nature!
In 1875, Edmund Norton first planted vines in Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo district high in the Andean foothills. At 900-1100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature, causing an extended ripening season, and also exposes the vines to more ultraviolet light, which encourages colour and tannin development. The results are obvious for all to see, vibrant wines packed with flavour, good acidity, well-structured and amazingly food friendly.
The Finca La Colonia range of wines are sourced from young vines, with no oak to obscure their immediate, accessible fruit.
