Monjitas Negras

Monjitas Negras presents a vibrant Merlot destined to charm your palate with its ripe fruit flavor and spice. Although this French grape variety is not indigenous to Argentina, Merlot — meaning “little blackbird” in French — soars to new heights in the vineyards of Mendoza. Closeby, the peaks of the Andes Mountain Range reach elevations up to 3,900 feet above sea level. The sun’s rays face no challenges ripening Merlot at these heights, showcasing its juicy, fruit-forward character. Cool mountain nights preserve the grape’s textures by giving them a much-needed break from ripening. These conditions, and a touch of oak from the winemaker, create the delicious balance of flavor and texture that makes our Merlot just as upbeat and cheerful as its colorful label. This wine makes the perfect casual companion. Enjoy it paired with a sunny day on your back patio or curled up with your favorite book.
