Tilia Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Description

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 wines possess true varietal character and flavor complexity.

Acclaim
“A good midweek cabernet sauvignon. Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of black currant, blackberry, black cherry, cassis and hibiscus. On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied cabernet sauvignon has medium-intensity, black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by ripe, medium tannin and completing with a cassis-filled, medium finish. The wine is straightforward with a somewhat steely texture. Pair with chicken, grilled meats and more.”
