About This Wine

Catena

Malbec

This Catena Malbec is sourced from our truly high-elevation vineyards located between 3,000-4,750 feet above sea level. Each vineyard along these mountain slopes has its own microclimates, each bringing unique characteristics to the final wine. Cold nights nurture the natural bright crispness out of each varietal, while the abundant sunshine adds stress and promotes notable aromatics. The final wine features a unique individuality and balance.

Wine Region

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

Tasting Notes

  • A figure representing the Vanilla tasting note. Vanilla

Expressive and rich, our Malbec features a deep purple hue that matches its full-bodied texture and intensity of flavors. Lush ripe berry and floral notes float above hints of coffee and vanilla. Textured with well-balanced tannins, acidity, and palate with a long, lush finish.
