Belasco Llama Bonarda/Malbec Old Vine
Argentina may be famous for its Malbec, but this blend from Belasco de Baquedano proves that Bonarda deserves just as much attention. The 'Llama' series celebrates Argentina's iconic Andean animal – a fitting symbol for wines that express the unique high-altitude terroir of Mendoza with such distinctive character.
This blend combines old vine Bonarda (Argentina's second most planted red grape) with Malbec, creating a wine with remarkable depth and complexity. The 'old vine' designation is important here – these mature vines produce fewer grapes but with much more concentrated flavor.
Belasco de Baquedano's vineyards sit at over 3,000 feet elevation, where intense sunlight and cool nights create perfect conditions for developing rich flavor while maintaining freshness. The result is a wine that offers immediate pleasure with its generous fruit but keeps you coming back to discover new layers of complexity.
Perfect for those looking to explore beyond basic Malbec into Argentina's broader wine landscape.
