Tasting note
Cabernet Franc from Patagonia, intense yet attractive, blending spice, honey and vanilla aromas with a mouthful of red berries and rich raspberry jam.
In the press
94/100 - Established by its namesake in 1909, Humberto Canale remains family-owned and -run, with third-generation Guillermo Barzi Canale at the helm. Aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak, this Cabernet Franc has sweet red but light fruit at the core, and a beautiful mineral layer of graphite and forest floor. Elegant tannic framework, peppery and fine. Very long finish, with lingering spice and dried herbs. Drinking window: 2025-2032
Viticulture
Humberto Canale: Patagonia's sustainable pioneer since 1914. Rooted in family values, we cherish our community. Cool Patagonian climate yields complexity and elegance. Old vineyards in General Roca, on limestone soil, nourished by desert winds. Handpicked, just 1 km from the winery.
Vinification
Hand-picked grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in new French and American oak casks for 12 months, followed by bottling and further bottle ageing for 6 months before release.
Food Match
Red meats such as lamb, grilled baby goat and game. Risotto and seafood also make a very original pairing.
