Malbec Bonarda – Twin Peaks
Pre-Order deadline has passed. Twin Peaks celebrates two of Argentina’s most iconic and widely planted grape varieties, Malbec and Bonarda. These two varietals that dominate Argentina’s wine region rise together like the two highest peaks of the Andes, that frame the vineyards of Mendoza.
From the sun-drenched foothills of the majestic Andes, Twin Peaks is a masterful blend of Malbec and Bonarda that captures the essence of Mendoza’s most coveted varietals. This robust red opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe blackberry, juicy plum, and a delicate whisper of red currant. On the palate, it unfolds with richness and elegance, layers of dark fruit mingle with notes of tobacco, and warm spice, revealing complexity with every sip. Balanced by moderate acidity and smooth well- integrated tannins that lead to a velvety texture and long lingering finish.
Nestled against the striking backdrop of the Andes mountains, Mendoza is Argentina’s leading wine region and perfect setting for bold reds, especially Malbec and Bonarda. The high-altitude vineyards, thousands of feet above sea level, create a unique microclimate where intense sunlight is balanced by cool mountain nights. The combination of the diurnal shift and the rustic terroir allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their vibrant acidity all while developing deep, expressive flavours.
This wine’s signature food pairing is grilled chorizo sausage but it’s also a great match for mushroom and black bean burgers, or aged cheddar.

Varietal Bonarda
Bonarda (also known as Charbono) originated in France but is now mostly planted in California and Argentina. Bondarda thrives in Argentine where it grows alongside Malbec- the grape that Argentina is famous for. Not coincidentally Bonarda blends perfectly with Malbec! Like Malbec- Bonarda produces fruity, smooth red wines with flavours of plum, cherry cardamom and fig. Bonarda has a dry finish with medium, soft tannins.
Varietal Malbec
Native to the Bordeaux region of France, Malbec is one of the 6 original grapes that go into the classic Bordeaux blend. It has since become Argentina’s signature wine and is now being found in other regions of the world. Malbec wines are rich, luscious and pair fabulously with beef.
Region Mendoza, Argentina
Sitting at the foot of the Andes and an average of 900 metres above sea level, Mendoza boasts some of the highest vineyards in the world. Altitude is key to Mendoza’s quality; the hot, semi-arid climate gives the grapes the sun and heat they need to fully ripen, while the cool mountain nights drastically slow ripening thereby preserving acidity. The dry, rocky mountain soils force the vines to work harder for nutrients, producing smaller, more concentrated grapes.
Sweetness Dry
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
Body Medium-Full
Typically wines featuring grapes that naturally have bigger flavours and may have higher tannins, oaking or alcohol levels.
Oak Medium-Heavy
Medium-Heavy oak provides a subtle oak character in heavier red wines.
