About This Wine


Andás

Bonarda

The Bonarda grape varietal is a real up-and-comer that might just be your new favorite grape. It’s an integral part of Argentine winemaking and a new favorite of ours. Born out of weather drier and cooler than the norm, this wine is a deep, concentrated red with sensational color. After you’ve finished admiring the wine’s irresistible hues, take a sip and discover a palate bursting with dark fruit. You’ll pick up notes of blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry alongside licorice, vanilla, and cinnamon. This is a robust wine that works well with rich meaty flavors. Spend the afternoon roasting a leg of lamb then sit back, share, and enjoy. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.

One of our new favorite grapes. The Bonarda (also called Douce Noir) is deep purple with delicious fruit and spice notes. An interesting wine that we feel thankful to have discovered.
