WINE DESCRIPTION

Doña Paula Los Cardos Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Doña Paula, a large winery in Argentina. The grapes are sourced from the Los Cardos vineyard, located in the Mendoza appellation, which is known for its fertile soils and ideal growing conditions. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a dry climate, which results in grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in mostly old oak barrels for subtle complexity. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, and vanilla. It is a perfect choice for those seeking value for money in a fruit-forward style from South America.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Doña Paula Los Cardos Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine with a moderately intense nose of ripe blackberries, cherries, and cassis aromas, followed by subtle smoky and herbal notes.The palate is medium-bodied and structured, with grippy tannins and balanced acidity. On the finish, notes of dark chocolate and spices linger. A great example of Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon for those seeking an alternative to Malbec.

ORIGINS

Winery: Doña Paula

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
