Catena Alta Malbec 2022
Catena Alta Malbec 2022 is a premium Argentine red wine from Mendoza, made from selected high-altitude estate vineyard rows. It highlights Catena’s historic Malbec work through a concentrated yet nuanced 100% Malbec expression.
Catena Alta Malbec is sourced from specific lots in Angélica, La Pirámide, Nicasia, Angélica Sur and Adrianna vineyards. Whole berries are fermented in small-format bins and 225–500 litre barrels with wild yeasts, full malolactic fermentation and 12–18 months of ageing in first, second and third use barrels.
The wine shows a deep violet colour. Aromas bring ripe red and black berries with violet, lavender, leather, spice and vanilla. The palate is full and rich, with smooth structure, sweet tannins, blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, vanilla and black pepper, finishing silky with mineral freshness.
Serve with hearty grilled meats, roasted vegetables or rich mushroom dishes. Its recognised Mendoza provenance also makes it suitable for gifting to Malbec and full-bodied red wine drinkers.
