Antucura SV ‘Tani’ Cabernet Franc 2016

VEGAN FRIENDLY!
In view we appreciate an intense and bright red color. The nose offers green bell pepper and red fruits aromas, well balanced with oak. In the mouth, it has a soft entry, is structured and balanced with mature tannins, and presents a good volume.

A very modern style that is classy and forward, showing mountain herbs, damson and red fruits characters alongside more leafy and woody notes. Complex, medium-bodied and impeccably balanced with a long, mouthwatering finish. Full of vivacity and freshness combined with purity and elegance.
