Description

Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family, where terroirs combine to produce outstanding, balanced wines.

The Catena Alta Malbec is sourced from historic plots across the family’s estate. Whole berry fermentation brings incredible vibrancy and concentration to the wine, with rich black fruits very much at the fore. 18 months’ ageing in French oak also adds complexity, with hints of spice, chocolate and cloves on the finish.

ProducerProfile

Nicolás Catena Zapata is justly credited with putting Argentinean wines on the world map—by the best expedient of focusing entirely on quality. It's great to know he has started a wine dynasty, too. Jancis Robinson, Financial Times wine journalist

We can't really add much more than that! We currently have the Catena Alta and Appellation wines in stock, along with the Bodega CARO wines, which is a joint venture between Catena and Rothschild.
