Guarda Cabernet Franc
It comes from our Lagarde’s estate in Perdriel. This plot was specially selected considering its cool region and stony soil. Grapes are fully ripe, keeping the fruit freshness, which eventually results in an elegant wine with personality.

100% Cabernet Franc. Red wine made from grapes cultivated in vineyard planted in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Ideal with grilled meats, duck, lamb and well aged cheeses.

The Malolactic fermentation is spontaneous. 100% of the wine ages 2 months in French oak barrels.
