The Séptima Gran Reserva 2022 is the flagship of Bodega Séptima and reflects the best of the Mendoza region. This wine is a carefully composed blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat, from vineyards at altitudes ranging from 1,050 to 1,310 metres above sea level. The high altitude of the vineyards contributes to the complexity and freshness of the wine. In the glass the wine shows a deep ruby red colour. The bouquet is expressive and layered, with aromas of black plums, blackberries and redcurrants, complemented by nuances of wet leaves and black pepper. These aromas develop further in the glass, adding to the complexity. On the palate the Séptima Gran Reserva 2022 offers a full, structured experience. The firm tannins are well integrated and provide a solid backbone. Flavours of ripe dark fruit are accompanied by subtle spicy notes and a hint of oak, thanks to 18 months of ageing in French and American oak barrels. The finish is long and persistent, with a delicate balance between fruit and spice. This wine has excellent ageing potential and can be kept for more than 10 years, during which its complexity and depth will develop further.
An excellent match for grilled red meat, game dishes and mature cheeses. The firm structure and rich flavours of the wine complement the intensity of these dishes.
