The wine
The most authentic expression of Mendoza Bonarda. A vibrant, juicy wine full of personality, part of La Posta, the project created by Laura Catena to honour the small, family-run winegrowers who bring some of Mendoza’s most distinctive vineyards to life.
La Posta Armando is dedicated to Estela Armando, heir to a family with roots in winegrowing dating back to 1887, when her ancestors arrived in Argentina from Italy’s Piedmont region. Her Bonarda vineyard, planted by her father and grandfather in the 1960s, is now a little gem of eastern Mendoza. Through this wine, La Posta celebrates both the character of the variety and the history of a family that has devoted generations to growing vines.

Winemaking
Made from 100% Bonarda. Half of the wine spends nine months in second- and third-use barrels, while the rest is kept in stainless-steel tanks. This combination preserves the intensity of the fruit and adds complexity without excessive oak influence.
