Alhambra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Altamira 2023 750ml

This is a purple-hued, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from estate vineyards in Altamira. It’s bright and fruit-forward, intertwining black pepper and vanilla notes with a line of refreshing acidity over a persistent finish. Of an intense purple color with vibrant violet reflections, this is a fresh, fruity wine, with a good body and good acidity. Thanks to its passage through French oak barrels, olfactory descriptions such as black pepper and vanilla can be noticed. Its finish on the palate is persistent and very elegant.

Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
