Clos de los Siete is the result of a decades-long project by French winemaker Michel Rolland, who first traveled to Argentina in 1988 and spent years searching for a single piece of land that could produce a world-class Bordeaux-style red. In 1998 he found it at the foot of the Andes in the Uco Valley — a high-altitude site with well-drained alluvial soils and wide swings between daytime heat and cool mountain nights, conditions Rolland judged ideal for Malbec and other Bordeaux varieties. Rather than buy the land alone, he partnered with six other French wine families to acquire it together, naming the combined estate Clos de los Siete, "the enclosure of the seven." The first vines went into the ground in 1999, and the inaugural vintage was released in 2002.
The estate itself covers roughly 2,100 acres (about 850 hectares), divided among the seven founding partners' individual holdings rather than run as one shared vineyard. Four of the original seven — Monteviejo, Cuvelier Los Andes, DiamAndes, and Rolland's own Bodega Rolland — contribute fruit from select parcels to the actual Clos de los Siete blend, a collaborative red built mainly around Malbec. The other founding partners use their share of the land to make their own separately labeled wines, so "the seven" refers to the original ownership group behind the project, not seven different bottlings sold under one name.
On this private tour, a guide walks you through that history on-site before the tasting, pairing the project's Bordeaux pedigree with the Uco Valley's high-altitude Andean backdrop — one of the reasons this stretch of Mendoza's wine country has become closely associated with serious, internationally backed winemaking rather than purely local production. Lunch is included alongside the tastings, with the full day run privately for your own group.
