Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the most well-known grape in the world, and can be easily called the king of red grapes. Incidentally, it is a relatively young grape variety, and a product of crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 19th century in France. Cabernet Sauvignon provides quality tannins, great fruit and good acidity, and grows in a very diverse spectrum of climates. It is a small grape, very densely packed, and therefore has a rather high ratio of skins to juice, which provides its deep red color and higher concentration of tannins in wine. It is one of the main grapes grown in California and Bordeaux region in France, but it is also grown almost in any wine producing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wine is very versatile, it can be consumed immediately or it can age very well for a number of years, developing new flavors and complexity. Cabernet Sauvignon can be pared with a variety of foods, including red meats, lamb, cheeses and chocolate truffles.

Los Vascos wines are made with the same care as our Bordeaux Grand Crus. Grapes are closely monitored when reaching maturity in order to find the optimal balance between phenolic ripenes and acidity. After careful sorting and desteming, grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Regular pump-over ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins. After malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transfered into French oak barrels for a period of 12 months.Crystal clear, ruby color with garnet rim. The nose is expressive with aromas of black cherry, plum and cassis coming to the fore in an intense fruity base. The whole is enhanced by aromas from the barrel ageing, such as cedar and graphite, that generate greater complexity. The wine is soft on the entry, leading to intense and present tannins, conferring persistence. A Cabernet Sauvignon with character, providing a good reflection of its vintage.
