Tasting Notes: One of Pulenta estates single varietal wines, made with the aim of achieving a true and pure expression of the individual terroir of the parcel. Aromas of black fruit, eucalyptus and tobacco. Concentrated flavours of blueberry, black cherry and blackcurrant with a back bone of black pepper, tobacco and leather. 18 months ageing in new French oak barrels smooths out the tannins and lends elegance to the finish.

Winemaking: Made in limited numbers, 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.
