Catena, Malbec ‘high Mountain Vines’ Mendoza

Catena Malbec High Mountain Vines is a bold yet elegant expression of Mendoza’s high-altitude vineyards, where extreme conditions deliver concentration, freshness, and purity of fruit. The wine undergoes an extended cold maceration at low temperatures to gently extract aromatic intensity, followed by fermentation with wild yeasts and a long post-fermentation maceration to build depth and structure.

Aged for 12–14 months in a mix of first-, second-, and third-use barrels—carefully selected according to vineyard and vintage—the wine achieves seamless oak integration while preserving varietal character. The result is a Malbec of layered complexity, showing ripe dark fruit, floral lift, and subtle spice, supported by refined tannins and balanced freshness. Concentrated yet polished, this wine captures the power and elegance that define Catena’s high-mountain terroirs.
