Vinification Details

  • The grapes were harvested in March and April, destemmed and crushed. Prior to fermentation the must was cold soak for 3 days. Fermentation occurred in upright steel tanks for 16 days at a temperature of around 28/30°C. This wine underwent malolactic fermentation to create a mouthfeel, before aging the wine in French and American Oak.

History

  • Catena set out to discover the best places to plant vineyards in Mendoza, identifying the best microclimates for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Malbec. In addition, new techniques of cluster thinning and harvest practices were implemented to further increase concentration. This research program also led to the conclusion that the poor soils near the Andes, were actually ideal for quality viticulture.

Regional Information

  • Mendoza is renowned for housing some of the best winegrowing regions of Argentina. The character of Mendoza wines is forged in high altitude desert vineyards irrigated by mineral-rich snowmelt from glaciers and snowfields. High altitude means cool temperatures and clear air, and clear air means more sunlight for building flavor in the grapes, helping to make Mendoza the source of Argentina's well-earned reputation for top quality, unique wines.

2019 vintage

Dunno what the negative reviews are about. Do these people actually drink wine? A tiny bit thin for a malbec , pepper and a whiff of smoke. Catena don't tend to make rubbish. Very drinkable for the money.

The screw cap was loose and the sleeve was not tig

Not Recommended

2 stars

Very disappointing. The taste was thin and there was no flavour from the aftertaste. No notes of the rich dark fruits one was expecting. We opened one bottle and returned three.

Sharp and tough to drink

2 stars

Not very nice! Acidic and harsh, masking any flavour. Would not buy again.

Would not buy again, even on offer!

Thought this was just awful. REALLY acidic, after-taste was almost like a corked flavour! Really would avoid in future. Usually a fan of a Malbec but this was pretty much undrinkable.
