The Catena wines are a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. This a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity. It goes through an extensive cold maceration for 5 days to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented (wild yeasts) for 16 days with a post-fermentation maceration of 22 days.12-14 months maturation in first, second and third use barrels.
2017 High Mountain Vines Malbec is a firm and silky red with blueberry and blackberry character. Some stone, too. Medium body, fresh acidity and a juicy finish. Although we have found that most of the Catena wines are consumed shortly after release, we are pleased to see that they can age beautifully for ten to twenty years.
