Altamira Cabernet franc reserva 2021

Say hello to Altamira's Cabernet Franc — a dry red wine from Argentina from the 2021 vintage. About the grape — Cabernet Franc is an aromatic red grape, a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, typically lighter in body with red-fruit, herbal and sometimes peppery character. Argentina is South America's wine powerhouse, where most of the vineyards sit high in the dry foothills of the Andes — all that bright sunshine and cool mountain nights give the wines their ripe, juicy generosity. The 'Reserva' on the label usually means it's a step-up selection given a little extra aging before release. Pour it with weeknight pasta, roast chicken or a cheese plate and you're golden. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
