Cut To The Steak
Your bottle is carefully packed in protective inflatable Air Shock packaging inside an outer box, helping to cushion it in transit so it arrives safely.
Domingo Molina Cabernet Franc is made in the Calchaquí Valleys of Salta, in north-west Argentina.
This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes.
Yes. The Cabernet Franc grapes are grown at 2,200 metres above sea level in Salta, giving this Argentine red wine its distinctive high-altitude character.
Yes. Around 30% of the wine is aged for 12 months in second- and third-use French oak barrels, adding gentle complexity.
The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in stainless-steel tanks with local yeasts, and macerated on skins for 12 days. After malolactic fermentation, part of the wine is aged in French oak.
This high-altitude Salta Cabernet Franc is a great match for steak, grilled meats, lamb, empanadas, roasted vegetables, rich pasta dishes and mature cheeses.
