The septens and their relationship with our labels
The Septens
The theory of sevens is one of the pillars of Anthroposophy
He sees life in a cyclical way, based on the observation of the rhythms of nature, divided into seven-year phases.
These cycles are strongly linked to astrology, each period is associated with a planet.
KRONTIRAS
Loyal to the principles of biodynamic winemaking since 2005, Bodegas Krontiras launched the Krontiras brand in 2021, deriving inspiration from Rudolf Steiner’s ideas on the ages of human beings, and structuring this new unique portfolio according to this evolution, from early to elderly age. Label designs by Argentine artist Ash Galzerano perfectly illustrate this concept on our bottles.
miKron
miKron is the line of our young , fresh, playful wines (Torrontes, Rosado, Criolla and no oaked Malbec). miKron, a Greek word meaning small or young, reflects the style and character of these wines, symbolizing the early age, the childhood of human beings. Hence the fantastic, almost moving, label showing children playing in an imaginary playground around the moon.

Explore
Entering adulthood indicates the beginning of the exploration of life. Thus, our reds (Malbec, Aglianico, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo, Blend) are aging and maturing mindfully but also experimentally, as we explore their potential and give them space and freedom to develop their best character. The Explorer on the label leaves (or perhaps returns to?) the vineyard to discover the world, carrying a back pack, ready to share the knowledge and be filled with new experiences along the way.

Natural Line
This segment of our portfolio includes our Natural Malbec, Aglianico, Tempranillo and Petit Verdot, Cosmic Amber (Orange) and Afron, our Rose Pet Nat. These are breakthrough, unique and spontaneous wines with minimal intervention during their creation. They refer to the age of adolescence, during which human beings tend to be impulsive, free spirited, unfiltered, showing strong potential while still being fun and lively. Our Natural (no added sulfites) reds share the iconic label which represents our vineyards inspired by our designer. The Cosmic Amber and Afron (modern Greek word for bubbles, ancient Greek for spontaneous), carry their own exceptional labels, all awarded in international label design contests.

Wisdom
Elderly age brings wisdom, as experience makes human beings mature and wise. Our old vineyard in Lunlunta, Lujan de Cuyo was planted around 120 years ago and its fruit is full of surprises and teachings every year, with every harvest. We take care of these grapes by harvesting by hand and age them in barrels for 24 months, giving them time to express and unfold the wisdom they collected while growing on plants so old and so wise.
