| El Halcon 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Vinos de Mesa | Login | — | In Stock |
El Halcón ‘the Falcon’ pays tribute to the Cabernet Sauvignon grape that through time has adapted so well in so many territories. Just like the bird, Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape with no borders. It was brought to Spain by the French Bordelaise during the late 1800’s in search of vineyard land that was unaffected by phylloxera. Today some of the oldest and best vineyards are in the northern part of Spain where El Halcón comes from.
This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Sierra de la Demanda subregion of Rioja Alta. It's worth noting that it has been declassified, as Rioja regulations do not permit wines made solely from Cabernet Sauvignon.
