An obscure Iberian red grape with a small presence in Australia's older vineyards.
History
Bonvedro is a little-known variety from the Iberian Peninsula. Its identity has been confused with other grapes over the years, and it is rarely seen today.
Bonvedro in Australia
Bonvedro survives in a few old Australian vineyards, historically used in fortified wines and blends, and is occasionally bottled on its own as a curiosity.
Tasting notes
Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Expect red and dark berries with spice and an earthy note.
