red grape

Bonarda

Warm Mendoza plains and Andean foothills; long sunny days.

Known as: Bonarda, Douce Noir

Bonarda is Argentina's second-most planted red grape, a juicy, approachable variety that has become the country's everyday companion to Malbec.

It delivers dark cherry, raspberry and violet with soft tannins and a gentle earthy edge — the wine of great Argentine asados.

For the buyer, Bonarda is characterful value: fruity, smooth and unbeatable for barbecue season.
