| This Syrah blend features Bonarda, a varietal that originated in Piedmont, Italy, and is now second only to Malbec in terms of plantings in Argentina. Argentine Bonarda is creating much interest and excitement on the international stage, and this unusual blend promises a unique flavour profile that will show off juicy and bright red fruit tones as well as vanilla and pepper suggestions. Crafted by Argentina's leading lady of wine, Susana Balbo, this is a must-try for lovers of Argentine wines and those looking for something new. |
