NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 24, 2020 / Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:VINO), a company with a growing collection of experiential luxury assets including the premium wines of Algodon Fine Wines, a high-end leather accessories and fashion label Gaucho - Buenos Aires, as well as real estate holdings, today announces the commencement of Algodon's annual Bonarda Week.

Algodon's Bonarda Week 2020 runs from Thursday, November 26th to Sunday the 29th.

Though Argentina is best known for popularizing Malbec, the Bonarda grape is Argentina's second most widely planted varietal. Like Malbec, the Bonarda grape also has its roots in France, and was later perfected by Argentine winemakers in Mendoza's ideal climates. The fine wines of Algodon Wine Estate produce two bonarda wines: an estate Bonarda varietal, as well as a Reserva Malbec/Bonarda blend, derived from a malbec and bonarda field blend planted in 1946, harvested together, and then microvinified, aging 24 months in French Oak.
"Past Bonarda Week celebrations at Algodon have proved to be a hit with Algodon Wine Estates residents and guests, which is why we bring it back every year," says Scott Mathis, Algodon's CEO and founder. "We celebrate it annually in order to call attention to this terrific varietal, but also to emphasize Argentina's important role as a leader in world wine production and quality."
