Tasting Notes For Catena Malbec 2020

Catena Malbec 2020 is a special wine crafted from high altitude estate vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina. The wine is the result of years of exploration and study of the unique terroirs that make up the region. Fourth generation vintner Laura Catena and chief winemaker Alejandro Vigil have combined their expertise to create a wine of unique character and natural balance.

This Malbec is a rich and complex wine with aromas of dark fruit and floral notes. On the palate, it delivers flavors of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, with a touch of vanilla and chocolate. The wine undergoes an extensive cold maceration to extract its aromas, followed by fermentation for 12 days and post-fermentation maceration for 19-22 days. The wine is aged for 12 months in a selection of barrels, with the selection varying depending on the vineyard and vintage.

Catena Malbec is a wine that can be enjoyed now, or cellared for up to 20 years. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews. With its deep complexity and natural balance, this wine is a true reflection of the unique terroir of Mendoza.
