"Stemming from three different Catena terroirs, offering the perfect representation of what the richness of their soils can offer: a succulent introduction to the subject!"

"A wine that evokes a blend of raspberries and violets in a spoonful of tannins as soft as ceramic, sprinkled with finely ground black pepper. Breathtakingly fresh. 2025-2027" (Jancis Robinson 2025)

About the wine:

Malbec Catena 2023, made from Mendoza grapes, is a fruity wine with a hint of oak in the background, offering sweet notes of caramel. The palate has velvety tannins and balanced freshness, while a slight vegetal note recalls the warmth of the 2023 vintage. This is an accessible, gourmet, well-crafted wine. 2025-2034

About the wine:

A balanced, fruity expression of Malbec, with notes of sweet cherries, plums, potpourri and a touch of white pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, with firm tannins and a juicy fruit core. Succulent, medium-long finish. Drink now or cellar.
