2011 Emma Zuccardi, Bonarda, Mendoza

( £19.75, 14.5%, Corkingwines.co.uk )

Bonarda is regarded as something of a quaffing variety in Argentina, good for everyday drinking but not capable of anything more exciting. But hang on…this is an incredible red from Sebastián Zuccardi, which takes the variety to new heights. Brambly, savoury and intense, with plum and blueberry fruit, sweet oak and old vine concentration.
