The 2019 Catena Alta Malbec transported me to the spirit of the 2016, both cool vintages. It's a blend of grapes from different vineyards that were harvested at different times to ensure optimal natural acidity and moderate alcohol levels. Whole berries are hand-loaded into small-format fermentation bins and 225- to 500-liter barrels. It shows precision and is clean, floral and really elegant, a little closed at first. The palate reveals a very fine thread, satin-like tannins and lively acidity with some blood orange hints. This is phenomenal. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2020.
The 2018 Catena Alta Malbec shows more evolution and ripeness than the 2019. It's varietal and floral with a mixture of red and black fruit, sweet spices and aromatic herbs. It has moderate ripeness—in fact, it's a little lower in alcohol than the 2019—a medium body and fine-grained tannins, with good grip. 162,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019.
The polished and developed 2017 Catena Alta Malbec has balsamic aromas and a very attractive mixture of flowers, berries and spices. It has contained ripeness for a warm vintage, with a serious profile, medium body and fine-grained tannins, with good grip. It was fermented with full clusters and matured in used French oak barrels for some 18 months. I like the austerity and grip on the palate.

Mendoza er en vinregion i Argentina, som er kendt for at producere nogle af verdens fineste Malbec-vine. Regionen har en lang historie med vinfremstilling, der går tilbage til det 16. århundrede, hvor spanske kolonister først introducerede vinranker i området. I dag er Mendoza hjemsted for over 1.500 vingårde, hvilket gør det til den største vinproducerende region i Argentina.

Produktionsstilen i Mendoza er stærkt påvirket af regionens unikke klima og geografi. Området ligger ved foden af Andesbjergene, som udgør en naturlig barriere mod Stillehavets kølige vinde. Det resulterer i et tørt, solrigt klima med store temperatursvingninger mellem dag og nat. Disse forhold er ideelle til dyrkning af druer med tykke skind, som giver rige, fyldige vine med intens frugtsmag.

Den mest populære druesort, der dyrkes i Mendoza, er Malbec, som udgør over 60 % af regionens vinmarker. Andre røde druesorter, der dyrkes i regionen, er Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot og Syrah. Mendoza producerer også nogle fremragende hvidvine, bl.a. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc og Torrontés.

I det hele taget er Mendoza et must for vinelskere, der ønsker at udforske den argentinske vinverden. Regionens unikke klima og geografi kombineret med dens rige vinfremstillingshistorie gør det til et fascinerende og givende sted at opdage nye og spændende vine.
