Mendoza Bonarda

We all know Malbec right… however have you ever tried Bonarda (also known as Douce Noir) from Argentina? It’s lesser known than Malbec however it’s Argentina’s 2nd most widely planted red grape.

We picked this one up from Good Pair Days and also made the matching Mustard Stuffed Chicken to go with it 🫶

Ruby red colour in the glass with hints of red liquorice, cherries, plums, raspberries and a sprinkling of spice on the nose. In the mouth it’s juicy, fruity and a whole lot of fun 🥳

All opinions are my own. Drink what you enjoy!

Bonarda also known as charbono. Just enough age on it at 8yr. Saddleback, cranberry, stewed raspberry. Hint of sassafras. Good acidity.

Vinho bom meio adocicado

If you like overly oaky wines with a hint of cedar and more oak this is the wine for you. The sales guy said it was like a Chinon with raspberry and pencil shavings. I would say it is more like a bad Napa than anything else.

Savory, slightly oaked with a nice bright center

Jammy
