WINE MAKING PROCESS
Clos de los Siete 2021 is a red blend primarily composed of Malbec, with other Bordeaux varietals contributing to the final composition. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Uco Valley, Argentina. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, with a significant portion (around 70%) then aged in French oak barrels for approximately 11 months, while the remainder is aged in steel tanks. The winery utilizes a gravity-fed system, reflecting an approach of minimal intervention. Sustainability is a noted practice in the vineyard management.
