Sur de los Andes Malbec / Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

"Borgoforte is a small village in the middle of our Estate that proved too strong to conquer. Like our new red wines, it symbolizes the resilient and charming character of the Tuscans. This wine is made in the “Super – Tuscan” style by adding Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes to the classical grape of Tuscany, Sangiovese. Each year we add selected wines to the blend to bring subtle complexity and richness without losing the flavor of the traditional wines of Tuscany. Grapes picked at optimum ripeness ensure a wine which expresses itself in its ripe black fruit components and full body. A true reflection of flavours which are a marriage of our soils under the Tuscan sun. For smooth body and elegance, the wine is aged in small oak barrels." —winemaker

Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot

"Black cherry with purple violet hues. Clean, fragrant with a bouquet of spices, violets and blueberries. Smooth texture, with savoury red fruits, soft with a round tannins, well-balanced acidity and a pure finish." —winemaker

"Old Vine Red is a proprietary red wine made to replicate the field blends of many of the old vineyards across California. Predominantly comprised of Zinfandel, Old Vine Red combines pure fruit, a supple mouth feel and a rich, solid structure. A groundbreaking combination of varietals from multiple vintages, this wine has blazed the path for red blends for decades." —winemaker

"Very intense red color, almost black. Very complex and intense aromas. Marked notes of red fruits and black olives, perfectly integrated with notes of spices and coffee from its maturation in barrels. Wine with great body and volume on the palate. Friendly tannins. Fresh, long." —winemaker
