"This grape original from Spain, adapted perfectly to the soils of Mendoza. Garnet red intense color. In the nose you get ripe red fruits aromas like raspberries. In mouth it is very balanced and has a great pleasant aftertaste. Familia Gascon is a great example of the potential of Tempranillo in Argentina.
