James Suckling 92pt

Aromas of cherries, raspberries, redcurrants, black pepper, wild herbs and vanilla. Medium-bodied with sleek tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and crunchy with a lively, spicy finish. Drink or hold.

by James Suckling, 2022

Tasting notes

Initial oaky aromas suggest milk chocolate and vanilla, with veiled plum and berry scents in reserve. A medium to full palate is made creamy by oak, while this tastes of cherry, plum and mixed spices prior to a ripe finish on which the wine's oak character is integrated and less obvious.

Estate

Bodega Sur de los Andes was created by Guillermo Banfi, a young Argentine professional who entered the wine industry in 2002. Today, the Banfi Family owns a 25 ha. vineyard in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo planted mainly with Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Also, the winery has long-term contracts with their growers and the grapes are as close to state grown as possible, an arrangement very similar to those made by the traditional vineyards in Rioja, Spain.
