Description

La Posta Armando Bonarda is an exceptional expression of Argentina's 'unsung hero' grape, Bonarda. Sourced from the historic, half-century-old vines of the Armando family in the Guaymallén region of Mendoza, this wine is a testament to the dedication of small-family growers. Crafted under the guidance of renowned winemaker Luis Reginato and Laura Catena, the wine honors the traditions of Mendoza's terroir. In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby hue, inviting you in with bright, vibrant aromas of fresh red and black raspberries, underscored by a sophisticated touch of smoky oak. On the palate, the experience is both rich and hedonistic, yet remarkably seamless. Flavors of freshly-crushed raspberries are beautifully echoed, accompanied by complex layers of leather, dark chocolate, and a delicate hint of sandalwood on the finish. This Bonarda is lighter-bodied than a typical Malbec, making it incredibly approachable, yet it possesses a structured elegance that allows it to pair beautifully with a wide array of dishes. It is an ideal companion for a refined charcuterie board, herb-crusted lamb rack, or even a hearty mushroom risotto. For the best experience, we recommend serving it at a cool room temperature, allowing it to breathe for about 15 minutes before your first pour. Whether you are enjoying it in its youth or tucking a few bottles away for the next couple of years, this wine offers consistent quality and a true taste of the passion behind the La Posta project. It is, quite simply, a delicious, crowd-pleasing red that perfectly bridges the gap between everyday drinkability and serious, terroir-driven winemaking.
