Clos de los Siete 2018

In 1988 Michel Rolland visited Argentina and fell in love with its people, landscape and culture. He was also seriously impressed by its wine potential. He believed with the right location, it could make wines that would match the best of Bordeaux (and he's made a few of those), even the world. After extensive searching, he discovered land at 1,100 metres in Mendoza's Uco Valley. Its soil of pebbles, clay and sand seemed ideal for premium wine, while the large fluctuation in day and night-time temperatures was perfect for quality and finesse. With six other partners, he purchased 850 hectares for vineyards and built a state-of-the-art winery. Made by the same Grand Cru Classé methods as top Bordeaux, this is a serious oaked red.
