Benegas
Mendoza, Argentina
With complex aroma and intense flavor, this wine is Argentina at its finest
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Benegas
Estate Red Wine
Since the late 19th century, the Mendoza region of Argentina has produced some of the finest wines in the western hemisphere. While the region’s climate is semi-arid desert, the seasons rarely reach extreme temperatures. This allows for unparalleled consistency in harvest yields and grape quality from year to year. The high altitudes are also believed to contribute to the consistent quality of their wines, particularly their Malbecs. Scientists are not sure why this is, but it is a matter of continuing study, and great excitement, to makers and lovers of wine everywhere.
The Benegas Estate Tiburcio 2010 combines five wines to create an extraordinary tasting 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.
