Description
Founded in 2001 by Spain's Raventos family, Bodega Septima marries Old World expertise with the unique conditions of Mendoza's high-altitude subregions, drawing on estate plots for precise site expression. The 2022 Tierra Gualtallary is made from Malbec grown in the renowned Gualtallary zone of the Uco Valley, where stony, calcareous soils and significant diurnal temperature variation yield grapes of notable freshness and minerality. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes a careful selection process, with fermentation carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and a gentle extraction to preserve elegance and aromatics. The wine then matures in French oak barrels, enhancing texture and adding subtle spice while allowing the vineyard's signature minerality to shine. Aromas of black cherry, wild herbs and violets lead to a palate that is medium-bodied yet vibrant, with lively acidity, fine tannins, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish, offering both immediate appeal and short-term cellaring potential.
