Embark on a journey through history and the senses. Each glass of Cabernet Franc holds centuries of French tradition and the fresh soul of the Uruguayan Atlantic. It is a wine that does not need to impose itself; it conquers with subtlety, leaving a trace of balance and refinement.

Origin of a Lineage

Cabernet Franc carries within it the memory of the first vineyards of southwestern France. From its union with other varieties came renowned descendants —Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carménère— a testimony to a lineage that shaped the identity of the world’s great wines. 

A Classic Reborn in the South

In Uruguay, Cabernet Franc has found a new territory to express its character, inspired by the Atlantic breeze. The mineral soils and marine influence enhance its aromas, revealing fresh, elegant wines with fine tannins —ideal companions for contemporary cuisine.

Aromas and Sensations

A medium-bodied wine with aromatic depth. It combines notes of red fruits, where delicate violets intertwine with a subtle mineral echo. On the palate, it is smooth and fresh, with rounded tannins and balanced acidity leading to a long, persistent finish.

Perfect Pairing

It harmonizes beautifully with lean grilled meats, rosemary lamb, or homemade pasta with mushroom sauce and a drizzle of olive oil. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables, semi-hard cheeses, and Mediterranean dishes rich in herbs, garlic, and olive oil. This is a wine that does not seek to dominate —it accompanies, embraces, and enhances without imposing.
