The Catenas are Argentina’s most famous winemaking family thanks to the vision of Nicholas Catena Zapata who helped put the country on the map for high altitude Malbec. The Catenas have been making wine in Argentina since 1902 and the family estate is currently run by the fourth generation of the family, Laura Catena, who has exhaustively studied Mendoza’s unique terroir to produce the very best wines possible.
Grapes for this wine are sourced from three high altitude vineyards set at the foot of the magnificent Andes Mountains. Lunlunta sits at 920 metres above sea level, El Cepillo at 1090 metres, and Gualtallary at 1450 metres. These unique conditions help grapes to reach optimum maturity without losing their natural freshness and aromatic character.
In the winery the grapes are macerated for several days and the juice is then fermented using wild yeasts. The young wine ages for 12 months in oak barrels with the exact type of barrel used depending on what will best suit the particular vintage and vineyard plot. The result is a luscious, fruit-forward Malbec with ample dark fruit character, soft and ripe tannins, and a very long finish.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
