Enter "Malbec" and pops up: Mendoza’s perfect match. Why? Because it typically requires high amounts of sunlight for full ripening, which is why most Malbec grapes have lower acidity. However, when you match these natural characteristics with the sunny, high-altitude terroir of Mendoza, you have what could be one of the best locations to grow this grape in the world. The Uco Valley (or Valle de Uco) is known for having some of the highest elevation vineyards of all of Mendoza, producing wines with elegance and excellent great aging potential. It’s in this region, Michel Rolland and some crazy Bordeaux wine producers, including the Cuvelier Family, started this ambitious project called Clos de Los Siete, in the privileged terroir of Vista Flores, Valle de Uco of Mendoza. Here the Cuvelier Family named their estate Cuvelier de Los Andes.                                                                                                                        This Malbec captures the pure expression of the grapes of Valle de Uco. For our Varietals range wines, we wait until our youngest vines are mature enough to produce grapes with enough complexity to qualify for our top wines. With our Malbec we offer the distinctive flavors and purest expressions of the emblematic varietal of Argentina. We produce this wine using the same process, care and love as per our Colección. Aged 60% in French oak barrels during 11 months.                                                      Try it out, you'll fall in love!!!                                                                                               Awards: James Suckling 92 points, Tim Atkins 91 points, Wine Spectator 90 points
