The name of this wine refers to the seven (siete) people behind the Bodega Vidas project, although there are many more winemakers working hard every day to maintain the long-standing wine traditions of Asturias.
Bodega Vidas wines are always fresh wines produced from local grape varieties. The wine we propose is made from a blend of Red Albarin, Carrasquín, Red Verdejo and Mencia. Siete Vidas is an honest wine, steeped in the character of the region's unique climate and soils, with a combination of centuries-old winemaking knowledge and modern oenological techniques. A traditional wine adapted to modern times.
The steep slopes of the south-west Asturian landscape are by no means the easiest place to cultivate vines. Only those who are used to devoting hours of hard work to vine-growing are committed to working these vineyards manually. In fact, their work is often called 'heroic winegrowing'. The only way to harvest the grapes in these shale-covered hillsides is by hand, and the must is then fermented in 3000-litre French oak foudres where the wine will also be aged later.
Siete Vidas has a strong Atlantic character. It displays a medium and bright intensity in the glass and flows easily over the palate. It delights with a fragrant nose made up of aromas of flowers, mint, cranberries, redcurrants and orange peel. It is a wine with a great mineral purity reminiscent of recently cracked rocks. Lively, tensely balanced, and very long, it leaves a lingering taste of charcoal and wild fruit. The kind of wine which makes you close your eyes after every sip and relish every drop of its pleasant flavours. It offers a pure acidity thanks to a minimum intervention and fragrant sensations of forests and the sea, of damp scrubland and the fresh sea breeze.
