Mendoza
Mendoza is a province of Argentina located in the west of the country, with a surface area of 148,827 km2. It borders the provinces of San Juan to the north, San Luis to the east, La Pampa and Neuquèn to the south, and Chile to the west: the province backs onto the Andes. Vineyards are found mainly at the foot of the Andes, at altitudes of between 800 and 1,700 metres. The most important wine-growing areas are in the provinces of Mendoza, which alone produces over 60% of Argentina's wines. In 2008, the Mendoza region boasted over 144,000 hectares of vineyards.

The province of Mendoza, located in west-central Argentina, enjoys a hot, dry climate. The soils, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, are composed of loose sandy-clay soil at higher altitudes. The province is also fed by 4 major rivers descending from the Andes, irrigation being an essential factor in the development of vineyards in this region. Mendoza wines are produced from Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon, Chenin, Viognier and Sémillon for whites and Malbec, Bonarda Tempranillo and Cabernet-Sauvignon for reds.

The quality of Mendoza wines will be fully revealed through the products offered by Bodega Poesia, Bodega Lopez, Luigi Boscala, Bodega Monteviejo or Weinert.

A slightly fuller Cheval des Andes, with taut, silky tannins and a persistent, generous finish. Ripe, but with great restraint and precision."

"One of Argentina's finest whites according to the Wine Advocate, this Chardonnay comes from one of Catena Zapata's most sublime parcels!"

"The White Stones Chardonnay 2021 is more subtle and elegant, a little closed with moderate ripeness and alcohol and a mineral palate with strong chalky sensations. It may be interesting to reproduce their explanation of this wine, one of Argentina's finest whites: "The term 'white stones' refers to the composition of these rows of soil, with white oval stones covered with gravel. The "Adrianna" vineyard is planted at an altitude of almost 1,500 metres above sea level, in the Gualtallary district of Tupungato. The stony soil prevents deep root growth, allowing for optimal drainage. These soils are very low in organic matter, helping to sustain the vines' conditions of permanent stress. The cool nights allow for very slow ripening, optimal acidity retention and low yields. This wine is serious and tasty". (The Wine Advocate 2022) - Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

"A wine judged phenomenal by the Wine Advocate!

"The Catena Alta Malbec 2019 transported me into the spirit of the 2016, two fresh vintages. It is a blend of grapes from different vineyards that were harvested at different times to ensure optimal natural acidity and moderate alcohol levels. Whole berries are hand-loaded into small-format fermentation tanks and 225-500-liter barrels. The wine is precise, clean, floral and very elegant, a little closed at first. The palate reveals a very fine thread, satiny tannins and lively acidity with hints of blood orange. This is a phenomenal wine". (The Wine Advocate 2022) - Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

"A very fine, precise Argentine Cabernet with fantastic freshness, according to James Suckling!"

"Like most Catena Cabernet Sauvignons, Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is not a 100% varietal wine, but a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, as Cabernet Sauvignon alone is often not complete enough. The Cabernet Franc must have given it an extra kick, reinforcing the already fresh character of the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, with plenty of fresh herbal aromas, and very fine, varietal tannins." (The Wine Advocate 2021) - Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

"Savour this fruity, gourmet Malbec in the typical style of wines from the Mendoza region!

"Malbec has a purple hue. On the nose, it presents aromas of violet, plum, cherry, orange peel and herbs. With supple tannins and a velvety texture, the palate is long-lasting, with thinner volume than before. The 2021 vintage presents a refreshing change of style towards a more primary profile."
