About
Birthed in the intense sunlight in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Argentina, sits the Alamos vineyards of Mendoza. Cultivated by the Catena family for over 100 years and projected by Nicholas and Laura’s continued and fastidious vineyard work the past 20 years, have helped push the company into one of Argentina’s most famous estates.
Grown at an altitude between 3,000 - 5,000 feet, Mendoza's vineyards are among the highest in the world where the temperature fluctuations allow the grapes to grow slowly, helping to develop more flavour.
The continued tradition of handpicking grapes ensures the best quality grapes are used for the wine. Full of blackberries, dark cherries, currants and spices all create a fruitcake note to the wine, matching perfectly for a cool winter’s night and a classic steak or grilled sausages. Soft and harmonious
Notes of blackberries, dark cherries, blackcurrants and baking spices. Medium body with creamy tannins. Round and juicy with lots of fruit and a ripe, chocolatey finish. Drink or hold. Rating: 91 Points; James Suckling

The 2021 Malbec offers varietal and regional typicity at a very affordable price. There are violets, berries and a touch of sweet spices with a juicy and round palate with almost unnoticeable tannins. Rating: 90+
