✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named in honor of Don Nicanor Nieto, one of the founding pillars of the historic estate, the Don Nicanor Barrel Select Cabernet Franc is a sophisticated expression of how this classic Bordeaux variety thrives in the high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza. Sourced from select vineyards where the intense Andean sun is balanced by cool mountain nights, the grapes develop a complex aromatic profile featuring ripe red berries, subtle black pepper, and the variety's signature herbaceous notes of roasted bell pepper and eucalyptus. The 'Barrel Select' designation denotes a careful curation of the finest lots, which are aged in French oak barrels to soften the grape's naturally robust tannins, weaving elegant notes of cocoa, vanilla, and sweet spice into a structured, lingering finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Nieto Senetiner blev grundlagt i 1888 af italienske immigranter i den velansete Vistalba-underregion i Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, og regnes i dag for et af Argentinas mest historiske og toneangivende vinhuse. Da familierne Nieto og Senetiner overtog og revitaliserede ejendommen i 1969, forenede de mere end et århundredes vindyrkningstradition med moderne vinificeringsmetoder. Vinmarkerne er beliggende højt oppe ved Andesbjergenes udløbere, hvor det tørre klima skaber optimale betingelser for koncentrerede, harmoniske druer med en imponerende dybde. Vinhuset har vundet international anerkendelse for sine fyldige, udtryksfulde Malbec-vine og flagskibsserien Don Nicanor, som omfatter komplekse rødvinsblends, cuvéer fra gamle vinstokke og raffinerede enkeltdruevine.
