Red wine | Mendoza, Argentina
Viña Las Perdices Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 is a distinguished red wine hailing from the renowned Mendoza region of Argentina, specifically from the Agrelo sub-region. This wine is crafted by Viña Las Perdices, a winery celebrated for its commitment to quality and innovation, embodying the spirit of 'Pioneros de Agrelo' (Pioneers of Agrelo).
This Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep ruby color, hinting at the rich flavors within. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a subtle touch of cedar, underpinned by a hint of spice from careful oak aging. The palate is dry and full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth and velvety texture. The flavors mirror the aromas, delivering a concentrated burst of dark fruit alongside subtle notes of vanilla and a lingering, spicy finish.
The Viña Las Perdices Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide array of dishes. Its robust character makes it an excellent companion to grilled meats, such as steak, lamb, or sausages. The wine's dark fruit notes and balanced tannins also complement hearty stews, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. For a more casual pairing, consider serving it with a gourmet burger or a rich pasta dish with a meat-based sauce. Its profile and structure will cut through fat and enrich the whole food experience.
This wine is best served at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and flavor profile. No need to rush, this one is ready to drink now, but if stored correctly in a dark and cool room, it will also age gracefully for several years.
Viña Las Perdices is a family-owned winery that has been producing premium wines since 1952. Their dedication to sustainability and innovative winemaking techniques ensures that each bottle reflects the unique terroir of Agrelo. Choosing this Cabernet Sauvignon is not just about enjoying a great wine; it's about supporting a legacy of passion, tradition, and excellence.
