Wine Making Notes:

Postales Del Fin Del Mundo Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in the cool, windswept region of Patagonia, Argentina’s southernmost wine-producing area. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh fruit character. The wine undergoes a short aging period in French oak barrels to add complexity and a subtle oak influence without overpowering the varietal expression.

Additional Information:

Patagonia’s unique climate, with its cool temperatures and long growing season, allows for the slow ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, resulting in a wine with remarkable depth and complexity. The strong winds and poor soils contribute to the grape’s thick skins, which in turn provide intense color and tannins.

Enjoy a glass of Postales Cabernet Sauvignon to experience the unique terroir of Argentina’s southernmost vineyards.
