"Sourced from three different Catena terroirs, these wines perfectly showcase the richness of their soils: a delightful introduction!"

“A wine that evokes a blend of raspberries and violets, with tannins as smooth as porcelain, sprinkled with finely ground black pepper. Breathtakingly fresh. 2025–2027” (Jancis Robinson 2025)

About the wine:

The 2023 Catena Malbec, made from grapes grown in Mendoza, is a fruity wine with a hint of oak in the background, offering soft notes of caramel. On the palate, it features velvety tannins and balanced freshness, while a slight herbal note evokes the warmth of the 2023 vintage. It is an approachable, indulgent, and well-crafted wine. 2025–2034

About the wine:

A well-balanced, fruity expression of Malbec, with notes of sweet cherries, plums, potpourri, and a hint of white pepper. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with firm tannins and a juicy, fruity core. A succulent, medium-length finish. Ready to drink now or suitable for aging.
