Alamos Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Mendoza, Argentina, a region renowned for its high-quality wine production. The grapes are grown in vineyards located at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, benefiting from intense sunlight, cool evening temperatures, and mineral-rich irrigation from snowmelt in the Andes Mountains. This high-altitude environment contributes to the wine’s rich flavor, depth, and aromatic complexity.
Vineyard and Grape Composition
The wine is primarily made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by 10% Bonarda and 5% Cabernet Franc. The vineyards’ location in Mendoza’s high-altitude desert allows for optimal ripening, producing grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. The combination of sunlight, clear air, and mineral-rich soil enhances the blackberry, plum, and cherry notes typical of this wine
