Pulenta Estate Gran Cabernet Franc XI 2020

Fruit for the Pulenta Estate Gran Cabernet Franc XI is sourced entirely from the Finca La Zulema vineyard in Agrelo, where the well-drained, rocky soil is perfectly suited to this grape variety. The vines were planted in 1992 and sit at an altitude of 980 metres which creates a climate that enables the vibrant aromatic character of Cabernet Franc to thrive. Matured for 12 months in French oak this Cabernet Franc is deep ruby in colour, with an intense aroma of roasted pepper, eucalyptus and tobacco with black plum and blueberry character. To begin the palate is sweet and smooth, with round and ripe tannins, then succulent blue fruits continue to develop with well integrated spice notes that endure on the long succulent finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
