Casarena consider themselves custodians & indeed, champions, of the distinctive terroir of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Producing a singular range of varietal and blended wines from their single vineyards; Jamilla, Lauren, Owen and Naoki, located in Perdriel, Agrelo and Alto Agrelo.
The vineyards are planted in alluvial soils with a distinctive mineral component and due to the varying degrees of soil composition, elevation, and climate/sun exposure within Luján de Cuyo, winemaker Martina Galeano is able to create markedly different profiles within a varietal showcasing the unique expression of each single vineyard.
60% Cabernet Franc; 30% Merlot; 10% Malbec. Red intense colour with amethyst and topaz hues. Its initial complexity on the nose, foretells its elegance in the mouth. Ripe cherry notes are vitally kept due to spices found in the Syrah, and a finish full of currant and tobacco defined by the oak and plummy Merlot.
