Pulenta Estate XI Gran Cabernet Franc

Pulenta Estate XI Gran Cabernet Franc is one of Argentina’s most refined and quietly serious Cabernet Francs, a wine that shows just how beautifully this variety can express the high altitude terroirs of Mendoza. The vineyards sit in the Uco Valley, where cool nights, intense sunlight and alluvial soils rich in stones and limestone give Cabernet Franc both aromatic lift and firm, elegant structure.

Pulenta Estate is run by the Pulenta family, whose roots in Argentine wine go back over a century. Their approach is focused on vineyard expression and long ageing, with XI Gran representing the pinnacle of their work, made only from the best parcels and only in exceptional vintages. This is a wine designed to show both power and finesse rather than simple ripeness.
