Pulenta Estate Bodega La Flor Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Bold bramble and mint leaf notes on the nose give way to a supple yet textured palate. The rich black fruit flavours are perfectly framed by the grippy tannins and the hints of cloves and menthol on the finish.
The grapes come from the Finca La Zulema vineyard, where the alluvial soils contain a mix of sandy loam and clay. Proximity to the mountains creates a wide diurnal temperature range. The grapes were harvested by hand.
Following a two-day cold maceration on the skins, fermentation took place in a mix of stainless steel and concrete tanks at 25-28˚C. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in concrete and the wine was then aged in second and third-fill French oak barrels for 4-6 months.

Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by brothers Hugo and Eduardo Pulenta, fourth-generation winemakers, with the goal of translating their family legacy and their father´s pioneering spirit into a modern, innovative winery focused on producing limited quantities of great wines. They have quickly carved out a reputation for precise, elegant wines across a range of varieties and premium price points. The estate consists of two vineyards located in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley. These contrasting vineyards have complex alluvial soils and distinct altitudes which, when blended, help give Pulenta wines their distinctive style, combining finesse, silky texture and elegance with the typical power and depth of fruit that is expected of Argentinian wines.
