Phebus Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza

This Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza comes from the Mendoza region in Argentina. The vineyards where the grapes for this wine come from are on average 30 years old and between the 18th and 27th April they are harvested. For 5 days there is skin contact followed by the fermentation of the most at 26-28°C for 20 to 25 days. After that 60% of this Cabernet Sauvignon matures for 12 months in French own casks after which it is blended with the other 40%. The result is a ruby red wine with powerful aromas of blackberries, cassis and a hint of mint. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannins and a round finish. This wine is best served with grilled meat, game and cheeses and has an ageing potential of around 5 years.

Phebus

The Phebus wines come from the Argentinian winemaker Fabre Montmayou. Hervé J. Fabre, born in the Bordeaux, arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for possibilities to invest in vineyards. He was impressed by the potential and quality of the Malbec grapes which made him decide to build his first vineyard in 1992: Fabre Montmayou. He became one of the pioneers in Argentinian wines made from a single grape variety. The company combines the modern techniques of wine making, the terroir of Mendoza and the “savoir faire” from the Bordeaux for making wines with a unique personality. The grapes come from the best regions in Mendoza and Patagonia.
