Producer
Septima winery’s vineyards are located in the in the prestigious region of Lujan de Cuyo in Agrelo in the wonderful province of Mendoza by the majestic Andes mountain range. This high altitude terroir offers optimum conditions to make high quality wines. With 360 hectares of cultivated land and balanced levels of production, Septima offers a wide range of consistently high quality wines all manually farmed.
Winemaking
Hand harvested grapes are destemmed, gently crushed and placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for maceration and fermentation. Natural malolactic fermentation takes place to enhance the mouth feel. About 10% of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels. The tannic accent of new barrels is tempered by malolactic fermentation to give the wine enough tannin to balance the rich fruit.
Fun Fact
Septima has a “Lab Top 3 & Igual o Mejor” (Equal or Better) policy: each new wine is evaluated in terms of its competitive range and will only be launched to the market if the blind tasting panel select it as the top 3 best world-wines. Each wine must be equal or better than the same wine from the previous vintage.
Food pairing
A versatile wine for Blue Cheese Burgers and Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks. Also an ideal partner for a traditional asado of barbequed lamb or beef with a smoky rub.
