Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec

Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec is an elegant and highly aromatic red wine from the renowned Catena Zapata estate in Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted by fourth-generation vintner Laura Catena and chief winemaker Alejandro Vigil, this wine is an assemblage of historic rows from premier high-altitude vineyards such as Angelica, La Piramide, and Nicasia. It features a deep violet color and a complex profile of ripe black fruit, lavender, and violets, balanced by notes of mocha, tobacco, and sweet spices from aging in French oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and supple with fine-grained tannins and a vibrant vein of mountain freshness that leads to a long, mineral-rich finish. This sophisticated Malbec is celebrated for its concentration and ability to age beautifully for decades, making it a definitive example of high-altitude Argentine viticulture.
