About Bodega Norton Perdriel Cabernet Franc:
Named after a small sub-region 20 km south of Mendoza at the foot of the Andes Mountains.
The main assets of Perdriel are its vines, some of the oldest in Mendoza. There are still old vines on rootstock, balanced, with little vigor and excellent quality. As in the rest of the wine regions of Mendoza, its climate is dry, with hot summers and very cold winters. But one vital factor that defines its climate is the proximity of the River Mendoza, which provides a kind of corridor for the cool air descending from the Andes.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red color. Attractive nose with aromas of blackberry and cherry combined with a subtle hint of fresh grass. Fine, ripe tannins well integrated. Very fresh and pleasant finish on the palate.
