Finca Las Moras' Black Label Bonarda is a testament to the resurgence of Argentina's second most planted red grape variety, which was historically relegated to blending. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the San Juan province, where intense solar radiation and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts allow the late-ripening Bonarda grape to achieve perfect phenolic maturity. The wine is typically aged in French and American oak barrels, which softens its naturally rustic tannins and imparts complex notes of chocolate and spice to its core of lush blackberry and plum fruit. This wine represents a modern, premium expression of a grape deeply rooted in Argentine viticultural history, brought over by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century.
