Producer Info
If Pol Andsnes could only make wine in Argentina from one variety it would be Bonarda however it took him five years to find the right vineyard up at 1100m in the Uco valley. Farming using organic methods and allowing other plantlife to grow amongst the vines to keep a more natural environment and improve the quality of the soils.
