Belhara Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza

Belhara Estate is a family winery nestled in the Uco Valley in Mendoza, with a focus on crafting artisanal red blends and single vineyard wines. The estate’s 300 hectares of vines are split between three estate vineyards at altitudes of between 850 and 1400 metres. Stephen Huse, owner and winemaker, trained in oenology at the University of Bordeaux. Prior to establishing Belhara, he worked within the winemaking team at Châteaux Margaux and Mouton-Rothschild, as well as at Harlan Estate and Merryvale Vineyards in the Napa Valley and Almaviva in Chile. The single vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from selected blocks within the appellation of Gualtallary in the Valle de Uco, at an altitude of 1350m. With a red dark hue, the nose is saturated with liquorice, vanilla and spices, while the palate displays round, supple tannins as well as an array of red fruit; cherries and pomegranate. The finish is long and well integrated. An exceptional value Cabernet.
