Bodega Septima Organic Malbec 2023

Founded in 2001 by Spain's Raventos family, Bodega Septima applies a European approach to sustainable viticulture in Mendoza's elevated vineyards, with a focus on site expression and minimal intervention. The 2023 Organic Malbec is sourced exclusively from organically certified estate parcels, where hand-harvesting and careful canopy management promote healthy, balanced fruit. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by gentle pressing and a moderate maceration to extract colour and fine tannins. The wine is matured in used French oak barrels for added texture and integration, yet retains the purity of Malbec's varietal character. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and wild herbs lead to a medium-bodied palate, supported by fresh acidity and polished tannins. The finish is clean, with subtle notes of spice and earth, offering an authentic expression of organic Mendoza Malbec that is suitable for both vegan drinkers and short-term cellaring.
