Organic = delicious
Malbec
Made with organic grapes.
Domaine Bousquet’s premium varietal series comprises a blend of estate and purchased fruit from the Uco Valley. The grapes benefit from major diurnal temperature swings, achieving exuberant ripeness while retaining the juiciness that invites a second glass. The wines are vinified with a French sensibility. The wines are un-oaked – an on-trend sensibility of little or no oak to let the fruit shine through and make the wines extremely food-friendly.
It is a wine of dark violet color. In the nose, it presents intense
aromas of blackberry with notes of red and blackcurrant and plum. The
mouth highlights notes of ripe plums with soft and elegant tannins.
Virgen Red Blend
Virgen Organic Red Blend is not only made from organic fruit but has no sulfites added, thereby qualifying for fully organic USDA
certification. A blend of 35% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30%
Cabernet Franc, it is vinified from 100% estate-grown fruit grown at a
cool 4,000 feet in the foothills of the Andes. This purest expression of
the local terroir, a mix sandy/gravel soils credited for Domaine
Bousquet’s signature “Naturally Elegant Wines,” benefits from brilliant
sunlight and 50⸰F degree temperature swings between day and night, leading to super-flavorful, fresh-tasting grapes.
