"This vintage comes from three different Catena terroirs, offering a juicy and comprehensive representation of what their rich soils have to offer: a succulent introduction!"

"A very well-made Malbec with a blend of red and black cherries, toasted spices, and graphite. It is quite juicy and tight on the palate with good intensity and a fresh, flavorful finish." (James Suckling)

About wine:

Deep purple. Pure, elegant, and fragrant like blackberries with a hint of stone dust. A certain oak sweetness is apparent on the palate, balanced by a delicate herbaceous freshness. 2024-2028

About wine:

The 2022 Malbec comes from the Uco Valley and is a blend of different regions and winemaking techniques. Purple color. The nose reveals seductive notes ranging from crushed plum to violet on a slightly herbaceous background. Indulgent and juicy, the mellow texture and refreshing flow lead to a rich and satisfying palate that lingers. This wine is built on different components that come together to achieve a relatively complex taste. 2023-2032
