Mendoza Province stands as Argentina's paramount winemaking region, boasting approximately 167,704 hectares (414,405 acres) of vineyards, which contribute to an impressive 70% of the nation's wine production. Within the overarching Mendoza appellation, there exist officially recognized sub-appellations known as "Indicaciones Geográficas" (IGs). These IGs, characterized by their diverse soil profiles, varying altitudes, and distinct climates, play a pivotal role in shaping the terroir of Argentine wine. It is worth noting that wines bearing a specific appellation/IG label must exclusively originate from vineyards within that designated IG, ensuring a true representation of its unique characteristics. The San Carlos Appellation Cabernet Franc is a harmonious blend of peppery spice and elegant flavors. The wine has a well-structured palate, characterized by a dense yet subtly smooth texture that leisurely lingers on the finish.
