Phebus Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon Patagonia

This Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon Patagonia is an Argentinian wine from the Patagonia region in the south of Argentina. The vineyards here are on average 30 years old and the grapes are harvested between the 18^th and 27^th of April. They are hand selected with cold skin contact for 5 days. After that the most is fermented at 26-28°C for 20 to 25 days. The result matures for 50% in French oak barriques and is then blended and bottled. A ruby red wine with powerful aromas of berries, cassis and a hint of mint. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannins and a round and rich finish. This wine pairs well 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.
