Tilia

Cabernet Sauvignon

TILIA seeks to create action around sustainable farming in Argentina and around the world. Rural life in Mendoza is rooted in a deep connection with the surrounding natural environment and the stages of life in the vineyard, interrupted without fail by the family weekend gathering for asado, our name for barbecue.

TILIA illustrates the journey toward sustainable viticulture in Argentina through its label, with the hope to inspire a movement among wine drinkers and producers all over the world. TILIA is also the first Argentine wine to carry the Bodegas de Argentina Certified Sustainable Seal on its label.

TILIA Cabernet Sauvignon possesses true varietal character and flavor complexity with notes of wild berries and spices.

Wine Production

Crafted with 100% certified organic Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, the winemaker uses racking, punch down, pump over, and aeration, during maceration. The wine is then aged in 225L French and American oak for six months.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red color. Fresh nose of wild berries and spices. Mouth-filling and lush, this wine has a big presence on the palate. Full yet soft, with gentle, sweet tannins. Red fruit, cassis marmalade and pepper flavors. Subtle chocolate oak hints.

Food Pairing

This Cabernet Sauvignon would be just as delicious paired with a filet mignon as it would be with a juicy cheeseburger. On a cold night, pair it with beef stew with roasted winter vegetables.
