Bonarda

Argentina
Mendoza
2021

Bonarda vine cuttings were brought to Argentina by Italian immigrants from Piedmont in the late 1800s. Current thinking suggests that what is known as Bonarda in Argentina is in fact not related to the Italian grape of the same name, but instead to Dolcetto. Héctor and Pablo are passionate about the potential of Bonarda in Argentina, and use low yield, late-picked fruit for this bottling.  Aged in stave-studded cement tanks (first use American oak) for eighteen months. Unfined and unfiltered.

"Attractive red and blue fruit with herb and dried orange-peel perfume. Soft and juicy with medium body and a polished tannin structure. Delicious and easy to drink, with wild raspberries and dried flowers on the finish. Vegan. Drink now."
