Sur de Los Andes Malbec Gran Reserva Mendoza

Winery Story

Bodega Sur was recently created by Guillermo Banfi and will market its wines under the brand Sur de los Andes. The wine is produced in a rec... (more...)ently refurbished winery built in 1920, incorporating state-of-the-art equipment for the production of high quality wines. The grapes are carefully selected from a handful of “fincas” in the prime zones of Mendoza, in particular, Vistalba, Agrelo, and Lulunta in Luján de Cuyo and San Carlos in the Valle de Uco. All these vineyards are between 20 and 80 years old, and all winemaking is under the supervision of Pablo Durigutti, who gained wide experience while working with the Rutini winery and with his older brother Hector Durigutti at Cinco Tierras. Hector is one of Argentina’s most respected winemakers and is considered to be in the top echelon of Malbec experts. Bodega Sur currently produces eight wines at four levels.

Tasting Note

This wine's intense red color with floral, mineral, mint, stone and pepper aromas, is followed by a palate of rich, juicy red and black red ... (more...)fruit, integrated oak tones and very soft, silky tannins. It has excellent structure and an ideal balance of fruit, complexity and minerality. It has the potential to age for 8-10 years.

Would be best with barbeque/meat meat meat. I just wanted to try it! Deep red, tasted a lot of fruit. Great preparation for my October trip to Buenos Aires!

Steven & Jess and I LOVED the Malbec. This was a great selection and one that I think could work well in summer or winter, with a number of different dishes. It could stand alone well too. Wasn't too over-powering.

June 8th - Relaxing at home. Carolyn was yet again stressed from her trip but this was particularly rough - amtrak from hell. I was at work and she called frantic for food (she had peanuts from the train station that, upon inspection, expired on 8/05...) so i left work at 8pm, walked to Mamas and ordered two home made food dishes. Chicken and brocolli and (we think) vegie meatloaf and sweet potatos. She was very cute that night and calmed down right after a good feeding. Love all around.

Full, fruity, with peppery accent and bright sparkle. Dramatic. Went well with short ribs.

Had it one night with pizza. Very rich and strong red. Had a ripe, juicy taste with hints of spice. Worked very well with red sauce... epecially with red meat.
