ABOUT THIS WINE:
Benegas
Finca Libertad Estate Red Wine
Since 1883, the Bodega Benegas vineyard and winery has been at the forefront of Argentina’s wine culture. The Benegas family was instrumental in growing and harnessing the unprecedented wine boom in the Mendoza region, setting a template that other wineries have tried to emulate to this day.

The Benegas Estate Finca Libertad 2009 is a fine red wine, which blends near equal parts of aged Carbernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot to produce a truly unique sensory experience.

WINE REGION:
Mendoza
Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
