Bodega Septima Tierra Agrelo 2022

Founded in 2001 by Spain's Raventos family, Bodega Septima harnesses Mendoza's distinct subregions with an emphasis on estate management and expressive winemaking. The 2022 Tierra Agrelo is sourced from the Agrelo district, an area prized for its deep alluvial soils and optimal conditions for ripening Malbec. Grapes are hand-harvested from select plots, ensuring only the best fruit is used. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with controlled extraction to preserve purity of fruit and supple tannins, followed by maturation in French oak barrels to enhance structure and add gentle spice. The resulting wine exhibits aromas of plum, blackberry and subtle floral notes, with a palate that is plush yet focused, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and harmonious, with well-integrated oak and a hint of mineral freshness, making it suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
