BressiaMonteagreloCabernetFranc

Bressia Monteagrelo Cabernet Franc is a well-crafted wine from experienced wine-maker Walter Bressia. True to the soils of the Uco valley with real depth and complexity. Concentrated cassis fruit with mineral and ferrous notes.

There’s something very special going on down a dusty track in one of the farther-flung out posts of Mendoza. A winemaker for years (‘for other people…’ as he puts it), Walter Bressia has spent decades quietly accruing relationships with growers and has emerged with an eclectic range from six sites that, he believes, represents the very best of the region.Walter Bressia and son Walter Jnr, are crafting their own very compelling expressions of the region and these are intensely personal wines. There’s a kind of secrecy to their source, you can visit the vineyards and they are indeed impressive, gnarly old things, beautifully tended, but there is alchemy back at the bodega. Walter’s fabulous finds have been spun into wines of depth and character. Production isn’t huge but the quality and personality of the wines are.
