Weinert Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from Mendoza in Argentina was launched in Sweden on October 21. That’s a good excuse to say a few words about this unusual wine producer. “This 2012 Weinert Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our favourite launches of the year and will be almost exclusively available in Sweden as it was a small vintage due to frost”, greets Iduna Weinert. However, don’t be discouraged if you are not in Sweden. Other vintages and other wines from Weinert are available around the world.
Iduna continues: “This is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines over 50 years old from the district of Lujan de Cuyo. The winemaker is our master Hubert Weber and the wine has been aged for 10 years in large French oak barrels of between 2500 and 6000 litres. A long maturation is Weinert’s signature in Argentina, which enables wines that combine the ripe and concentrated dark fruits – cherries, blackcurrants, plums – with notes of dried leaves, sandalwood and moka.”
Look for any of the vintages of Weinert’s wines. They’re well worth tasting.
You can read more about Weinert in our article on BKWine Magazine and Forbes.
There are a few places open to come with us on our wine tour to South America in January and meet both Iduna and Hubert at the winery and taste many more of their wines.
