Catena Appellation Paraje Altamira Malbec - 2023 (750ml)
In the 1950s, Don Domingo Catena began sourcing Malbec from the vineyards of Altamira in
the Uco Valley. The combination of intense sunlight and cool nights yields an elegant, mineral, slightly spicy Malbec with a deep texture and flavors. The vineyard is full of giant white stones that allow for optimal drainage and balanced vines with naturally low yields. The Catena Institute of Wine played a key role in establishing Paraje Altamira as an official Appellation in Argentina.
93 points Vinous
The 2023 Malbec Appellation Paraje Altamira, aged for up to 12 months in oak barrels, ideep purple with pristine aromas of violets, blueberries, blackberry and fresh plum. The palate is dry, plush and juicy, with chalky tannins lending a pleasant tautness to the mid-palate. The 2023 is a delicate, energetic and balanced tour de force from a warm vintage. - By JoaquĂn Hidalgo on April 2025
