Clos de Los Siete 2020 - Clos de Los Siete

The 2019 vintage was characterized by dry weather conditions and temperatures that were generally cooler than historical averages. The spring was dry and did not suer from the potentially violent Zonda wind. A cold week in October (below seasonal averages) had a slight impact on the fruit setting phase. The summer followed with moderate temperatures, but with an intense 15-day heatwave that started in the last week of January. To combat these extreme conditions, vines protect themselves by seeking water deep in the soil. To improve their resilience, Clos de los Siete strives to encourage deep root systems, through careful working of the soil and irrigation management. In March and April, the weather remained hot and dry with substantial changes between day and night-time temperatures, favouring the development of polyphenols in the grapes. The quality obtained was excellent for all grape varieties, although the "stars" of the vintage were undoubtedly Malbec and Cabernet Franc
