Catena Appellation Lunlunta Malbec 2023
Winemaker Notes: Catena Appellation Lunlunta Malbec displays black and red berry aromatics, a lengthy midpalate, and an unctuous finish.

This shows dark fruit, tar, brambleberries and a touch of dried herbs. The palate is firm and concentrated, with polished tannins and a structured, delicious finish. Sourced from 100-year-old vines in the Lunlunta region.

Sourced from vines planted in 1930 in Maipú's loamy clay and sand soils, the 2023 Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is the most dense offering in the Catena Appellation series. It opens with a rich, sun-kissed nose of dark fruits, coffee and dried flowers, leading to a round, supple palate that sits low in the mouth, closing with a savory, earth-tinged finish.

This red’s subtle, smoky-spicy and floral edge plays nicely into a richly contoured core of raspberry and Santa Rosa plum that lingers around integrated tannins. Drink now through 2035.
