Explore the exceptional Catena Vista Flores Malbec 2021, a true testament to Catena's winemaking prowess and dedication to high-altitude viticulture. This distinguished red wine originates from Argentina, specifically the San Rafael region within Mendoza, showcasing the renowned Malbec varietal. Dating back to the 1950s, the vineyards in Vista Flores, a village south of Mendoza, are cultivated on soils rich in loam, gravel, and clay, contributing to the wine's dark and structured character. This specific bottling, part of the Appellation series, offers a microscopic insight into the Catena philosophy, revealing the meticulous vinification of individual vineyard sites to create single-site wines of exceptional quality. The Vista Flores Malbec is characterized by its fine tannins and captivating black forest fruit flavors, presenting a pure and elemental expression of Malbec that has become a popular choice within the Appellation series. The winemaking process includes a five-day cold maceration at 10 degrees Celsius, followed by a sixteen-day fermentation and a ten-day post-fermentation maceration. For aging, the wine spends twelve months in French oak barrels, with 35% being new, and barrel selection varies depending on the vineyard and vintage. This Malbec exhibits ripe, concentrated dark red fruit aromas complemented by delicate floral notes of lavender and violet, with a hint of mocha. On the palate, it offers a rich, full mouthfeel with undertones of leather and spices, making it a complex and elegant wine. The wine's style is described as structured, powerful, full, elegant, complex, broad, and bright, with an alcohol content of 13.5%. It is an ideal food pairing for tapas, steak, red meats, and poultry, as well as hard cheeses. The Catena Vista Flores Malbec 2021 possesses an ageing potential of up to ten years, allowing its flavors to further develop over time. As a product from The Allotment, a small Irish wine company, purchasing this wine supports small, sustainable wine producers who share a deep respect for the land and its traditions.
