To introduce Bodegas DiamAndes I suggest you go to their website to learn more about the wine estate located in the Uco Valley of the Mendoza region of Argentina and the Bonnie family who own it. You will find the owners use sustainable techniques to produce organic and vegan wines. Their wines reflect the qualities of the terrior just as the wines they produce in their native Bordeaux where they have two wine producing properties. When they introduced their first Argentinian vintage in 2007 it coincided with the opening of the DiamAndes winery. The contemporary design of the winery pays respect to Andean landscape. Bodegas DiamAndes should be a stop on a Mendoza wine tour.
The white selection is 2023 DiamAndes Perlita Chardonnay. This is 100% Chardonnay matured exclusively in stainless steel which produces vibrant acidity, elegant white fruit flavors, and creamy, mineral-driven textures. The red is 2023 DiamAndes Perlita Malbec-Syrah. This 80%-20% blend is aged in used French barrels. Malbec is the star of this show with Syrah providing smoothness for a well-rounded wine. If you are looking for a fresh rose, we also have 2025 DiamAndes Rosado, a Malbec rose on our shelves. These wines are a great value at $15.
