Why We Like It
Magna Montis want you to know that there’s more to Mendoza’s Uco Valley than just altitude, although at between 1,000 and 1,700m about sea level, they have that one nailed.
A sense of place is what they want to bring to to the bottle. Manual harvest, organic practices, spontaneous fermentation, and a decent amount of whole bunch, is what they say reflects not just the mountainous terrain, but the soils, winds and pure mountain water that feeds the vines.
These are wonderfully pure expressions of the mountain wines that Argentina is capable of producing when in the right hands.
What To Expect
We love a Cabernet Franc at Plouf. The Loire is where we really fell in love with this particular cépage, but seeing how a different terror can change its character is endlessly fascinating.
Magna Montis harness Argentina’s altitude to bring out the plush, sleek fruit that Cab Franc is capable of. Teamed with silky tannin and clean acidity, seeing what a change of hemisphere can do for this grape is entrancing.
