Domaine Bousquet, Virgen Organic Red Blend 2019, Tupungato, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina

Tasting Note: A red blend to pair with a midweek meal that would complement many a dish.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has a medium-intensity nose of black plum, blackberry, raspberry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied red blend has medium-intensity, black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and ripe, medium tannin.

The wine is straightforward with red-fruit running underneath a black-fruit exterior.

Bottle Note: Domaine Bousquet combines the know-how of French winemaking with Argentina’s exceptional climate and terroir. The vineyard is located at the foothills of the Andes, at 1,200 m.a.s.l. Its thermal amplitude contributes to obtaining fully ripened grapes with an excellent acidity. The grapes are hand-picked and the vineyard is certified organic. Virgen is the most pure expression from our terroir. With only natural occurring sulfites, Virgen is a well-balanced red blend with rich and pure fruit flavors. Tones of red and black fruit as raspberry and black currant make it ideal with red meat and pasta dishes. Malbec, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc.
