✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the high-altitude desert of San Juan, Argentina, this Cabernet Sauvignon captures the intense solar energy and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the Tulum Valley. Nourished by pure Andean meltwater, the vines thrive in stony, alluvial soils. The region's legendary Zonda wind—a hot, dry wind descending from the Andes—naturally protects the vineyards and concentrates the grapes' flavors. This wine represents a modern, fruit-forward expression of the varietal, where the typical structure of Cabernet Sauvignon is softened by the warm climate, yielding a rich profile of ripe blackcurrant, red bell pepper, and subtle sweet spice.
