Catena Malbec, Mendoza

This is a premium Malbec - deeply-coloured, with intense dark fruits (blackberry, blueberry, damson), roast coffee beans, and hints of violets as well as cigarbox. The palate is full-bodied, mouth-filling, rich and smooth, with a long finish.
Highly rated on Vivino!
The grapes are sourced from three vineyard locations, (including the noted Tupungato region) from some of the highest vineyards in the world. Here, a combination of cool nights and sunny days create intensely fruit-filled wines, with vibrant acidity. The wines are fermented with wild yeasts. 12 months ageing in barrels follows.
