Tasting Notes
The Marselan grape is a relatively new red grape on the Argentine wine scene, and its
development in eastern Mendoza is gaining attention due to its great potential. This variety is
a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha, originally created in France, which
combines the best of both: the structure and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon and the
smoothness of Garnacha.
Ideal for pairing with pasta and meats.
