Bonarda

Bonarda is the up-and-coming red grape in Argentina, where it’s hoping to be the next Malbec. Wines made using Bonarda are fruity, smooth and a little spicy. Whilst most currently lack the gravitas of a great Malbec, Bonarda wines are becoming more & more refined, and offer a delicious alternative to Argentina’s most synonymous grape.
