More Information

Casarena’s winery was built in 1937 and sits in the heartland of Mendoza’s historic winemaking region, Lujan de Cuyo. Their distinctive single vineyard wines come from winemaker Martina Galeano and agronomist Pablo Ceverino, two of the best young talents in Argentine wine. The team continues to conduct ongoing intensive soil research on their vineyard sites. Their dynamic and collaborative teamwork is what allows them to create such authentic, award-winning expressions of their unique vineyards.

This cabernet sauvignon was hand-harvested from the best blocks of Owen’s Vineyard (Agrelo), an 80-year old pergola style vineyard planted with original vines. Aged in French oak for 12 months. Black and red fruit on the nose with cherry, bell pepper, and subtle hints of coffee from the barrel fully integrated. In the mouth, it is wide and exhibits good complexity and round tannins. It is an elegant and robust wine with a long finish.
