WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes are sourced from two of our historic vineyards: “La Vendimia” and “Los Paraísos”, favored by the  optimum  soil and weather conditions of the Andes mountains. The wide thermal amplitude and intense sun exposure in these vineyards lend wonderful freshness and balance to this lively and complex Bonarda. Of a bright red ruby color, with violet hues, the nose displays intense red berries, laced with fresh flowers and smoke. On the palate, a soft sweet entry leads to a well-balanced, softly textured and easy-drinking wine.
