Since Hervé Fabre set foot in Argentina in the 1990s, he’s been a pioneering spirit in wine. Every year he wins Trophies and high points galore. This exceptional Mendoza Cabernet Franc is beautifully balanced, barrel aged, with silky fruit finesse.
Raised in Bordeaux, Hervé Fabre departed France in the early 1990s in search of new and more challenging wine territory in which to invest. He was heading for Chile but became side tracked by old Malbec vineyards in Argentina and never left. Hervé now runs a leading estate in Mendoza, and another in Patagonia, and has won hoards of international Golds and Trophies. Every year his wines also score very highly with top critics like Parker, Suckling and Atkin. This superb red, made from the grape most favoured by Bordeaux superstar Cheval Blanc, uses all hand picked Cabernet Franc from Luján de Cuyo in Mendoza. Aged for a year in French oak, it’s an elegant, complex red that will make fine drinking over the next few years. Decant early.
