90+ points Wine Advocate
They define their approachable and very affordable red 2020 Colonia Las Liebres Bonarda Cl??sica, a wine created in 2003 that has had great commercial success, as a bistrot or trattoria wine that they started to give relevance to the grape, the most planted in Argentina, that until then was relegated to blends and anonymous table wines. The house style is to keep moderate alcohol and good freshness that this year blends 90% of their grapes from Luj??n de Cuyo and, for the first time, 10% grapes from their new property Jard??n de Altamira where the limestone soils and higher altitude already add tension to the wine even in a warmer year like 2020. It fermented in 3,000-liter stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in concrete. It has a very expressive nose with notes of wild herbs and plants, very juicy and tasty, primary and straightforward, medium-bodied and balanced. This is very easy to drink and really very good for what it is. 115,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2020.

The 2020 Bonarda Colonia Las Liebres is mostly from a vineyard in Luj??n de Cuyo, but 10% of the grapes were grown in Altamira. Unaged, it is a deep violet in the glass. A pure, mild nose of plum and raspberry with herbal hints. In the mouth, it?€?s gentle, and lean, enhanced by a freshness that dials up the volume. Nimble and juicy, this is a thirst-quenching wine of bold, grippy flavor.
