Tasting Note

The wine shows a red of good intensity with ruby highlights and a dark, almost black core, clean and bright, with colored tears on the glass. The nose is concentrated and spicy, highlighting green bell pepper and menthol notes, complemented by medium-intensity, well-integrated oak, resulting in an intense, fresh, and persistent aroma. On the palate, it offers mature tannins with good body and richness, balanced by flavors of dark fruits, bell pepper, and refreshing hints of mint, all supported by delicate oak. The wine is elegant, harmonious, and finishes with long, refined persistence.

Product Notes

This full-bodied red is a hedonistic delight with complex notes of ripe blackberries, earthy spice and subtle oak; offering a pleasurable balance of intensity and elegance. A hint of bell pepper reveals its varietal identity whilst dry tannins compound its character. Aged in French oak barrels, it carries a sophisticated finish of dark cocoa and ripe fruits. Ideal for ageing, this Cabernet Franc is a testament to El Esteco's winemaking prowess, showing great depth and refinement. It pairs perfectly with hearty meat dishes or robust cheeses.
