The 2024 Malbec Appellation Paraje Altamira, from Uco Valley, delivers intense red fruit, with sour cherry, fresh plum and a hint of herbs. This is smooth and slightly plush, with soft chalk and a juicy, clean finish.

Winemaker Notes

Family vintners for over 100 years, the Catenas are recognized for their pioneering role in high-altitude viticulture and in leading Argentina’s Malbec revolution. 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.
