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.

Fabulous. Really is. Will be back at Tesco's tomorrow to grab some more while it is on Tesco Clubcard discount. We have wine every evening with our meal and we are so glad that we decided to try this wine. Loved it.

2020 vintage is OK

4 stars

A Tesco Customer2nd February 2022

Gifted to me at Christmas I approached this wine with some trepidation, having glanced at the reviews, but this 2020 vintage is actually pretty decent. Full bodied as you would expect, it has a nice enough nose and could not be described as 'thin', even benefitting from a little bit of chilling (20 minutes in fridge). I would say this is a 'with food' wine and not to be consumed as an aperitif, being a bit on the robust side for that. At this price I doubt you will do very much better.

Dreadful.

Thin and undrinkable. Looked and tasted like mouthwash. Most unlike TF wines.

No stars at all. Absolutely undrinkable wine - extremely unpleasant ! Unbalanced. acidic, and overpowering - had to pour the bottle away. I bought it by mistake after the rave review for Tesco finest 'The Trilogy' Malbec so I'm wondering whether to risk it again

Rather disappointing

2 stars

A Tesco Customer2nd December 2021

Last year's bottling. Sharp on the palette lacking any real roundness and depth of character. Much better Malbec's on offer but will probably have to pay more.

good value

Superbly authentic Argentinian Malbec; our "go-to"

5 stars

A Tesco Customer20th June 2021

This is our go-to red wine as it's very easy to drink, not too heavy but still has all the punch of a classic Argentinian malbec. We keep trying other malbecs for variation but always end up with this as our staple - it's the real deal and I'm a huge fan!
