ABOUT THIS WINE:
Old Quarter
Bonarda
Our 2021 Bonarda comes from the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina. This new release from Gold Medal-winning Old Quarter is fruit forward, with hints of earth and spice that add complexity.

The colorful Bonarda grape variety mirrors Argentinian culture itself with rich wines that are welcoming and friendly but take pride in standing out. While Malbec may be king in this region, Bonarda is a well-kept secret of locals, loved for its inherently fruity character and juicy mouthfeel. This wine’s food-friendly structure pairs exceptionally well with Argentinian dishes that are a fusion of Latin American and European influences. Serve at room temperature and enjoy with family.

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.

TASTING NOTES:
Earth
Chocolate
Raspberry
Our Bonarda offers a special taste of a lesser-known favorite with aromas of cooking spices, earth and black licorice. The palate displays soft acidity and a lighter-leaning body with sweet flavors of raspberry and chocolate. This wine’s firm tannins make it a versatile food pairing for grilled meats and aged cheeses.
