Felino Cabernet Sauvignon is an extraordinarily pure, beautifully structured, and vibrant red wine produced in the high-altitude winemaking paradise of Mendoza, Argentina. Felino is part of the prestigious Viña Cobos portfolio, founded by pioneering winemaker Paul Hobbs, whose visionary work elevated Argentine winemaking onto the world stage. Sourced from meticulously selected, cool-climate vineyard sites in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, this Cabernet Sauvignon captures the incredible intensity, vivid varietal character, and natural elegance of mountain viticulture.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its plush fruit expression, refined tannin structure, and refreshing acidity. Grown in high-elevation alluvial soils warmed by intense Andean sunshine and cooled by drastic day-to-night temperature drops, the grapes achieve optimal ripeness while retaining vibrant freshness. Matured thoughtfully in a combination of French and American oak barrels, it offers a sophisticated profile of blackcurrant, dark cherry, sweet tobacco, and crushed graphite, framing a remarkably smooth and balanced palate.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from high-altitude vineyard parcels across Mendoza during the cool early morning hours. Upon arrival at the state-of-the-art winery, the fruit is meticulously sorted and gently crushed into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation occurs with selected native yeasts and controlled cap management to extract deep colour and fine, fine-grained tannins. Following pressing, the wine matures for approximately nine to twelve months in French and American oak barrels (a portion of which are new) to enhance complexity before bottling without unnecessary fining.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it presents a deep, vibrant ruby-purple colour with dark magenta edges. The nose is lifted, expressive, and complex, opening with focused aromas of ripe blackcurrants, cassis, and black cherries, interwoven with subtle nuances of sweet tobacco leaf, cedar wood, cocoa powder, and fresh eucalyptus. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, elegant, and harmonious, offering concentrated dark fruit flavours supported by a fine beam of mountain acidity and silky, integrated tannins that lead into a long, savoury, and polished finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its focused dark fruit core, supple structure, and lively freshness, this Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant companion for rich, savoury cuisine. It pairs magnificently with chargrilled skirt steak with chimichurri, roasted rack of lamb, pan-seared duck breast, and slow-braised beef short ribs. It is also an excellent match for wild mushroom empanadas, wood-fired pizza, and mature hard cheeses like Manchego or aged Cheddar.
