Tasting Notes
The nose is complex with aromas of cocoa, red fruits and figs layered with cinnamon and a touch of smoke. The palate unveils seductive aromas of black fruit with very well-integrated oak. This wine has great balance and an exceptional freshness.
History
The idea of a partnership between the Rothschild and the Catena families was born in 1999. The Catena family has been producing wines for four generations, their vast knowledge of the high altitude terroirs of Mendoza has ranked them amongst Argentina's most renown Malbec producers.
Regional Information
Nestled at the foothills of the snow-capped Andes mountains, Mendoza is known as the best wine producing region in Argentina. With vines planted on high plateaux between 800 and 1200m above sea level, Mendoza's vineyards are known as the highest in the world. Sheltered from the rain by the mountains to the West and the Pampa to the East, the region is very arid. Mendoza wines draw their character from an exceptional sun exposure and wide temperature variations between night and day.

Vinification Details
Harvest is conducted by hand and grapes are carefully sorted on tables and destemmed before being placed
in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Regular pumping-over ensure a gentle extraction of the tannins.
After malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transferred into French oak barrels for a period of 12
months, and 50% is placed in concrete vats.

Amazing wine

Myself and my husband just adore this wine. It needs plenty of time to breathe to open up but once it does its smooth and very drinkable and was even still very good the next day. It is a blend so maybe not as full bodied as other Malbecs which in this case is not a bad thing. Get it when its on offer if you can.

maybe unlucky

Bought a few on strength of rating. Hardly any fruity aromas on sniff after cork removed a while. Tasting showed no better. Inferior to anything in tried in this price bracket, 2016 on bottle. Hoping all not like this. Will repost opinion if this proves to be a dodgy bottle/ batch
