Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What defines Tura’s Mountain Heights series?
It is the winery's premium line, characterized by grapes sourced from high-altitude vineyards (850m) and a minimum aging of 20 months in new French oak barrels.
Is this wine suitable for long-term aging?
Absolutely. Due to its high concentration of tannins and acidity balanced by the altitude, this Cabernet Sauvignon can evolve positively for 10 to 15 years.
What makes the Tura vineyard special?
Its location at an altitude of 850 meters ensures dramatic temperature fluctuations. This allows the Cabernet Sauvignon to develop a thick skin (high color and tannin) without losing elegance and natural freshness.
Is it a Single Vineyard wine?
Yes, Tura is an Estate winery, which means they only produce wines using grapes from their own vineyards, ensuring total quality control from the land to the bottle.
Why is the aging so long?
The 20 months in barrels are necessary to polish the enormous tannic load produced by high-altitude grapes. The result is a balanced wine that can age for decades.
