Weinert Cavas de Weinert

Deep ruby tone with purple sparkles springs up its stable and vigorous structure. Its tannic richness guarantees its longevity, but discreet ripe fruit prevails. A balanced full-bodied wine that has reminiscente fragrantes of oak on the long finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
