Description

Catena Paraje Altamira Malbec is a premium Argentine wine made from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the Altamira sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza. This sub-region is known for its high elevation, rocky soils, and cooler climate, which allow for slow and even ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines with great complexity and depth.

On the nose, the Catena Paraje Altamira Malbec displays intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry, along with notes of vanilla, cedar, and spice from aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and espresso, as well as a firm tannic structure and a long, elegant finish.

Overall, this is a superb Malbec that showcases the unique terroir of Altamira, as well as the skillful winemaking of the Catena family. It pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, and is a great choice for special occasions or as a gift for wine enthusiasts.
