the wine

A Pleno Sol means in full sun, and that is exactly the mood. Malbec brings the dark fruit while Bonarda, Argentina's underrated everyday grape, adds juicy lift and spice. Easygoing but well made, it is the bottle for a long table and no particular occasion.

Vibrant red with violet reflections. Ripe dark plums and berries with a spicy allure and subtle vanilla and mint. Long and well-structured, with fleshy, velvety tannins.

from Colección Quinquela.

Coleccion Quinquela takes its name from Benito Quinquela Martin, the beloved painter of Buenos Aires' port. The wines come from the high Famatina Valley in La Rioja, where desert sun and altitude give bold, generous reds at friendly prices.
