The 2022 Norton Altura Cabernet Franc is Argentina’s answer to Loire Valley purity and Bordeaux structure, wrapped in Andean flair. Planted high up in the Uco Valley, this wine delivers dark fruit, peppery spice, and a velvety texture that keeps you coming back.
Forget what you know about Cab Franc – this is modern, clean, and energetic, yet grounded in old-world balance.
Tasting Notes
Blackberry, bell pepper, graphite, and a dusting of cocoa. Structured but juicy, with silky tannins and a savoury finish.
Perfect Pairings
Charcoal grilled meats, shakshuka, lamb koftas, or even a hearty nasi lemak with sambal.
Accolades
One of the top-rated Argentine Cab Francs under $100. A favourite among critics chasing value and expression.
Vineyard & Terroir
Grown at elevations between 1,100–1,300m in Uco Valley’s prime subregions. Cold nights = perfect ripeness and spice.
Why We Love It
It’s one of Argentina’s most exciting reds – and this bottle is proof Cab Franc is having a moment.
