Bibendum Launches Vinedos de la Posada - 21/11/2008

In 2006, La Riojana Winery, located in the picturesque and remote valley of Famatina, was the first winery in Argentina to be certified Fairtrade. Some of the highest vineyards in the world can be found here, at 1600m above sea level.

The word "vinedos" is Spanish for "vineyards" and "La Posada" is the name given to the unique stone built shelters where travellers transporting cattle and goods would gather for water, food and rest on their long journeys through Argentina.

The range consists of two varietal wines - a Merlot and a Torrontes. The Merlot has an intense aroma and is full of plum and cherry, as well as hints of hazelnut. This is a full bodied wine, which is both elegant and well balanced.

The Torrontes has delicate citrus, floral, green apple and pineapple aromas. It is well balanced and has good acidity that makes the wine fresh and allows for pronounced aromas.
