The Andes is one of the world’s tallest and most picturesque mountain regions. They provide quite a backdrop for the vineyard. Perfect growing conditions, described as having warm days, cool nights, a steady breeze to limit mold, and of course, plenty of minerals in the soil. A combination of factors allowing Malbec to flourish in here.
Founded in 1999 by Raventós Codorníu, the oldest winegrower in Spain (460 years of winemaking history) known for their world-famous Cava and Napa Valley Cabernets—Bodegas Septima is a fortress made of natural and sustainable rock, completely integrated into the environment. They are producing remarkable wines from vineyards planted at some of the highest elevations on the planet.
