Description
Our Gold Medal-winning Cien por Ciento Bonarda offers the chance to drink like a local Argentinian. Rich, weighty textures and bold red fruit flavors easily explain how this grape famously won the hearts of Latin America. Bonarda’s lineage traces to eastern France, where it is known as “Douce Noir,” meaning “sweet black.” After arriving in Argentina in the 19th century, Bonarda has become the country’s second-most widely planted grape variety. Its wines have woven themselves into the local history and culture. In the famed vineyards of Mendoza, this slow ripener thrives in warmer sites with plenty of access to sunshine and a long, dry growing season. You can find this wine at dinner tables throughout Argentina, where it’s often served alongside classic regional delicacies like provoleta and matambre arrollado. Salud!
