Nuna Bonarda Organic 2018

Nuna Cabernet Sauvignon Organic is made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.

Chakana winery was founded in 2002 with a mission to produce wines of fantastic quality and value-for-money. Today, this wine is the fruit of long labor and steadfast adherence to this mission. Through sustainable agriculture our aim is to showcase in the most authentic way the characteristics of the vineyard, situated at 950 m above sea level with rich, stony soils and its own climate specific to the Mendoza river region. The result is a fruity wine offering cherry and blackberry aromas with vanilla and spicy nuances. On the palate it is well-balanced and medium-bodied with elegant tannins and a long finish.

The grapes are carefully chosen and fermented in small lots to preserve the vineyard identity. Alcoholic fermentation for 12 days with indigenous and selected yeasts, at temperatures of 26 and 30°C, combining, remontage, pigeage and delestage in order to obtain the best quality of tannins and structure.
