Catena - Catena

Alta

Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family Estate vineyards. The blend of these historic rows, like the marriage of sounds that create a symphony, yields a highly aromatic and elegant wine that speaks for the earth and the vines that have been tended by the Catenas for four generations. The Catena Alta wines can usually be drunk starting at three years after harvest and into the following one to two decades.

Appellations

Family vintners for over 120 years, the Catena's 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 La Consulta. The combination of intense sunlight and cool nights yields a wine that Domingo prized for its deep purple colour, black fruit aromatics and rich velvety tannin

More than 120 years of passionate winemaking

Catena is a prestigious winery located in Mendoza, Argentina, with a rich history spanning over 120 years. Founded by Nicola Catena in 1902, the winery has been instrumental in elevating Argentine wine to international acclaim. Today, it is managed by Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, who continue to innovate and push the boundaries of winemaking.

The winery is renowned for its high-altitude vineyards, particularly the Adrianna Vineyard, which is often referred to as the "Grand Cru of South America." These vineyards, situated at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 feet, benefit from unique climatic conditions that contribute to the complexity and quality of the wines.

Catena specializes in Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, among other varietals. Their wines are characterized by a meticulous blending of components from different terroirs and altitudes, resulting in balanced and expressive profiles. The Catena Alta Malbec, for instance, is celebrated for its rich, dark fruit flavors, smooth tannins, and elegant structure.

The winery's pyramid-shaped building, inspired by Mayan architecture, is a symbol of its innovative spirit and commitment to excellence. Catena's dedication to quality and sustainability has solidified its reputation as a leader in the global wine industry.
