Wine Description

Catena Malbec is a blend from three vineyards divided into lots that are harvested at different times. This wine goes through an extensive cold maceration for 5 days at 48ºF (8,8ºC) to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented for 12 days with a post-fermentation maceration of 19-22 days. Through decades of study and exploration within Mendoza’s high altitude mountain terroirs, the Catena family has identified special locations for its Estate vineyards. From the marriage of these historic vineyards emerges a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity.

Pair with roast turkey, grilled steak, salmon, and pasta with red sauce.

Slightly acidic.

Joan Fillare – November 12, 2021

Floral aroma with cherries and vanilla. Strong black cherry and mineral notes with a hint of light pepper.

WA – May 25, 2023

The 2020 Catena Malbec shows plenty of roasted notes, toast and ripe fruit, the result of a warmer and riper vintage in 225-liter oak barrels. It reveals a soft and velvety texture, juicy fruit and polished tannins. It finishes dry and surprisingly more austere than I anticipated.

The berry and floral character comes through clearly on the nose and palate with a medium body, a medium-tannin backbone and a dark-walnut aftertaste.
