The Serra Gaúcha sits in the highlands of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state, where cooler temperatures and adequate rainfall create favorable conditions for these hardy grape varieties. Unlike Vitis vinifera-based wines common in Europe and much of the New World, the Isabel-Bordô blend delivers a foxier, more intensely fruity aromatic character that defines the Brazilian table wine category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with pronounced grape-forward aromatics characteristic of Isabel and Bordô varieties — think Concord-style grape intensity with undertones of ripe berries.

The Isabel and Bordô blend is not an attempt to replicate Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon — it is a purposefully different expression rooted in terroir and tradition. At 10.5% ABV, it sits lighter than most reds, making it versatile for warm-climate drinking and cocktail use.
