Santa Julia Reserva Malbec Cabernet Franc 2022 finds its origin in the vineyards that Bodega Santa Julia cultivates at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, at an altitude of 1400 m, on heterogeneous soils and under the influence of the cool climate of the Uco Valley. The firm, integrated into the Zuccardi Wines conglomerate, produces this red wine mainly with the native Malbec grape (70%), complemented by a well-judged addition of Cabernet Franc, which provides the ensemble with spicy and black fruit notes. After partial aging in French oak barrels, the result is a complex Argentine red wine that stands out for its elegance and concentration.

Creators' opinion
Santa Julia Reserva Malbec Cabernet Franc exhibits a medium intensity violet-red color. It offers a complex nose with typical Malbec aromas (red and black fruits like cherries and plums), followed by jam, tomato leaf notes, and spices contributed by the Cabernet Franc. On the palate, the Cabernet Franc brings black fruits and tannins, forming a perfect combination that translates into an elegant and complex wine with great concentration.
