CLOS DE LOS SIETE

This blend of grapes from all the estates on the property, made by Michel Rolland, makes up approximately 80% of the total production output of all the wineries. A constantly morphing blend, it is comprised of approximately 80% Malbec, 10% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet.

From seven vineyards in the foothills of the Andes, this is an ambitious red wine. It’s a striking wine. Very dark colour. Intoxicating sweet nose of liqueur-like blackcurrants and red fruits. Very pure and sweet with a spicy edge: quite like a young vintage port. The palate is sweet with a rounded, roasted character and a spicy edge. It finishes dry with a spicy edge and some drying effect from the alcohol. This is a delicious forward wine for current consumption, but the combination of a firm, spicy, rather drying tannic structure and some alcoholic heat on the finish suggests this is not one for cellaring. This aside, there's no denying that this is a very seductive wine with wonderful purity of the fruit
