Description

A benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza’s acclaimed Uco Valley, the Gran Lurton 2017 stands as a testament to Argentina’s ability to craft world-class wines beyond Malbec. Deeply rooted in exceptional terroir and meticulous winemaking, it delivers structure, elegance, and power in perfect harmony. A wine of history and acclaim — the first Argentinian label to win gold at the International Wine Challenge and recipient of 95 points from James Suckling — this vintage reflects both prestige and place. In the glass, a deep ruby hue sets the stage for an elegant bouquet of spice, clove, coffee, and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and complex, unfolding layers of dark fruit, cedar, and subtle oak toast supported by fine, persistent tannins. Notes of vanilla and spice linger through a long, refined finish, showcasing both the precision of the winemaking and the natural intensity of the Uco Valley. A natural match for eye fillet, prime game cuts, or roast lamb — dishes that complement its depth and structure. For an elevated pairing, try it alongside truffle-infused sauces or aged hard cheeses, where its savoury dimension truly shines. Impeccably balanced on release yet built to mature gracefully gaining further depth and complexity with time.
