Description
Bodega Septima, founded in 2001 by the Raventos family of Spain, is situated among Mendoza's highest vineyards and is known for merging sustainable vineyard practices with precise European winemaking. The 2024 Chardonnay is sourced from estate blocks in the foothills, where cool nights and high altitude promote balanced acidity and expressive fruit. Grapes are harvested in the early morning and pressed gently to preserve their natural freshness. The juice undergoes a cool fermentation in stainless steel to maintain varietal purity, with no oak contact, ensuring the clarity of the region's mineral character and citrus-driven aromatics. The finished wine is pale gold in colour, showing aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and a hint of fresh-cut apple. The palate is crisp, dry, and focused, with lively acidity and a subtle saline note reflecting its Andean origin, making it ideal as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes, best enjoyed in its youth for maximum vibrancy.
