Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec 2022

A profound and classically styled Malbec, the 2022 Catena Alta Historic Rows is a blend of the family’s estate vineyards located at extreme altitudes in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. This vintage displays a deep, saturated violet colour and opens with an elegant bouquet of ripe plums, black cherries, and blueberries, interwoven with sophisticated notes of violets, licorice, and a distinct mineral character. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, showcasing a concentrated core of dark berries and cocoa supported by firm, fine-grained tannins. The high-altitude acidity provides remarkable freshness and lift, leading to a long, persistent finish with subtle nuances of sweet spice and tobacco from aging in French oak.
