Bodega Septima Gran Reserva Blend 2022

Founded in 2001 by Spain's Raventos family, Bodega Septima leverages Mendoza's altitude and diverse soils, crafting wines that showcase both regional identity and varietal character. The 2022 Gran Reserva Blend is composed of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tannat, sourced from estate parcels renowned for low yields and concentrated fruit. Grapes are hand-picked and vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with extended maceration to build depth and complexity. Each component is matured for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels before blending, resulting in a wine of notable structure and integration. The finished blend reveals layered aromas of dark berry, cassis, and cocoa, with subtle notes of sweet spice from barrel ageing. The palate is full-bodied and refined, framed by well-knit tannins and bright acidity, delivering a persistent, balanced finish; ideal for cellaring or pairing with robust dishes.
