Bodega Garzón Cabernet Franc de Corte 2021

This wine is made from Cabernet Franc, Tannat, Merlot, and Marselan grapes. The 2021 vintage saw the vines experience cold winter weather which allowed for even budding. A dry spring was followed by ideal summer conditions for the ripening resulting in healthy grapes with excellent colour. The end of the growing season saw persistent rainfall, which was challenging to manage, but carefully thought out harvesting resulted in a great selection of fruit, with optimal yields. The hand-harvested grape varieties were processed separately, with 5 days of maceration followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing on lees. This careful process results in a wine packed with vibrant flavours and aromas.
