An easy-going red from Mendoza, blending Bonarda, Cabernet and Malbec. Ripe fruit, soft tannins and a smooth finish make it a straightforward bottle for midweek drinking.
Sourced from vineyards in the Barrancas region, where warm, dry conditions suit these varieties well, this brings together some of Mendoza’s long-established plantings. Older vines help give a bit more depth to what is otherwise a simple, fruit-led style.
In the glass, expect dark berry fruit with hints of plum and a touch of spice. The palate is rounded and soft, with gentle tannins and enough freshness to keep it balanced.
A reliable all-rounder that doesn’t need much thought.
Food Pairing
Good with pizza, pasta or simple meat dishes. Also works well with everyday suppers.

Argentina
In 1556 fr Juan Cedrón established the first Argentinian vineyards in Mendoza using cuttings from the Chilean Central Valley. Argentina is now the worlds fifth largest wine producer. The many different grapes reflect the country's immigrant groups: the French brought Malbec, the Italians brought Bonarda and Torrontés is typically Argentinian found in the provinces of La Rioja, San Juan, and Salta.
One of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British Columbia, Canada to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
The classic profile is full-bodied with high tannins and noticeable acidity that contributes to aging potential.
