Mairena Bonarda Reserve Limitado - Familia Blanco

After the first swirl, one can perceive a first-rate balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out watery or syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. To the nose, this Familia Blanco red wine shows all sorts of plums, raspberries and blackberries. As if that were not already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as vanilla, chocolate and black cherry.

The Familia Blanco Mairena Bonarda Reserve Limitado presents itself to the wine drinker wonderfully dry. This red wine never shows itself coarse or meager, but round and smooth. Balanced and complex, this melting red wine presents itself on the palate. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Mairena Bonarda Reserve Limitado is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this wine from the wine-growing region of Mendoza, which can be stored well, finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of blackberry and raspberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the clay-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Familia Blanco Mairena Bonarda Reserve Limitado

The basis for the balanced Mairena Bonarda Reserve Limitado from Argentina are grapes from the Bonarda grape variety. The grapes grow close to the river in Mendoza. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay. Due to the moderating influence of the nearbyriver, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic complexity. The berries for this red wine from Argentina are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After the harvest, the grapes reach the press house by the fastest route. Here they are selected and gently broken up. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by a maturation of 12 months in French oak barriques.
