The Nieto Senetiner Blend Collection Cabernet Sauvignon - Cabernet Franc - Petit Verdot is a sophisticated expression of Mendoza's capability with classic Bordeaux varieties. While Mendoza is globally synonymous with Malbec, its high-altitude terroirs have a storied history of cultivating exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and its blending partners. This wine showcases the art of the blend: Cabernet Sauvignon provides a robust backbone of structured tannins and dark fruit; Cabernet Franc contributes elegant aromatic lift, fresh acidity, and subtle herbaceous notes; while Petit Verdot adds deep color, vibrant acidity, and exotic spice. Sourced from selected vineyards in Mendoza, the grapes benefit from intense alpine sunlight and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, resulting in optimal phenolic ripeness and balanced acidity. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in oak, yielding a harmonious, complex red that honors the estate's century-old winemaking heritage.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants in the premier wine-growing region of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Nieto Senetiner is one of Argentina's most historic and prestigious wineries. The estate was acquired by the Nieto and Senetiner families in 1969, who expanded its facilities while preserving its architectural heritage, and it is now part of the Perez Companc Group. Renowned for its deep respect for terroir, the winery crafts exceptional wines from historic vineyards, including the centenarian vines of Finca Villa Blanca planted in 1906. Under the guidance of winemaker Santiago Mayorga, Nieto Senetiner produces elegant, structured wines, most notably their acclaimed Don Nicanor Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and innovative blends that showcase the classic character of Mendoza.
