Red wine | Argentina
Trapiche Estacion 1883 Bonarda is a testament to Argentina's winemaking heritage, a wine that embodies the pioneering spirit of the region. Trapiche, established in 1883, was indeed the first winery with its own train station in Argentina, facilitating the transport of grapes and connecting the winery to the world. This wine is a tribute to those pioneers who shaped the terroir and brought its unique taste to global appreciation.
This Bonarda, Argentina's second most planted red grape, offers a unique flavor profile. Expect vibrant aromas of red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied structure with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity, leading to a smooth and lingering finish.
Crafted in Argentina's premier wine-growing region, this Bonarda benefits from high altitude vineyards, providing intense sunlight and cooler temperatures. These conditions contribute to the grape's concentration of flavors and aromas, as well as its balanced acidity.
This wine is a versatile companion for a range of dishes. Its fruity and spicy profile makes it an excellent match for grilled meats, particularly beef and lamb. It also pairs well with pasta dishes, especially those with tomato-based sauces. For a more casual pairing, enjoy it with cheese boards featuring aged cheddar or Gouda.
For a great wine, you can serve it slighty chilled around 16 degrees Celsius, and without the need to wait for the wine to rest after opening the bottle, you can drink it immediately.
Trapiche Estacion 1883 Bonarda is a wine that offers a taste of Argentina's history and terroir, a story of innovation and dedication to quality. It's an invitation to experience the unique flavors of Bonarda, a hidden gem of the Argentine wine world.
