---------
Also known as 'Seven Stars', this blend was created by world-renowned winemaker Michel Rolland and six Bordeaux families. This 1+6 combination is the origin of the seven stars on the label.

The winery is located in Mendoza's Uco Valley at an altitude of 1,100 meters, benefiting from abundant sunshine and significant diurnal temperature variation, ensuring exceptional grape quality.
--------- Official Tasting note for reference (extract):

"The nose is characterized by intense, complex aromatic expression with scents of dark fruit, blackberries and blueberries, and floral notes accompanied by delicate hints of spice.
The palate is generous, silky and full-bodied. The blend presents a remarkable balance between well-rounded tannins, intense fruit, and good concentration.
This wine has a characteristic freshness and beautiful length on the palate.
Seductive, elegant and complex, it has great potential to improve with age."
