I got gifted this Malbec at Christmas from Fortnum and Mason and what a treat! Catena Alta Malbec, a delightful symphony of flavours that truly captivates the senses! Picture this: a deep, velvety garnet colour that dances in the glass, hinting at the opulent journey your palate is about to embark on. With a bouquet as bold as the Andean peaks that watch over the vineyards where it's grown, this wine is a testament to the rich terroir of Argentina's Mendoza region. The aromas are a tantalizing mix of dark berries, plums, and a touch of spice that whispers of the wine's complex heritage.

The moment the wine meets your lips, a burst of ripe, juicy fruit explodes – think of biting into a freshly picked blackberry on a warm summer's day, the sweetness and tartness mingling together in a delightful harmony. The richness of the Malbec grape variety is on full display, with layers of dark fruit flavours that unfold gracefully on the palate. There's a hint of blueberry and a kiss of dark chocolate, adding depth and sophistication to the profile. The fruitiness is balanced by a firm, yet approachable, tannin structure that gives the wine a backbone without overpowering the delicate dance of flavours.

As you savour each sip, the wine's velvety texture envelops your mouth, leaving a lingering embrace of lush berries and a whisper of oak that adds a touch of vanilla and toasty notes from its time in French barrels. The finish is long and satisfying, with a subtle wink of minerality that reminds you of the high-altitude vineyards that have nurtured these grapes.

Pair this robust beauty with a hearty meal, like a perfectly grilled steak or a plate of flavourful cheeses, and watch as the wine's vibrant personality mingles with the food to create a match made in heaven. Or, if you're feeling particularly indulgent, let it stand proudly alongside a decadent dark chocolate dessert, where the fruit and cocoa notes will serenade your taste buds in a sweet symphony.

This is not a wine for the faint of heart; it's a wine that demands attention and deserves to be shared with those who appreciate the finer things in life. It's a wine that tells a story of passion, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of quality by the Catena family. So, uncork a bottle, sit back, and let the bold, fruity, and plush character of Catena Alta Malbec sweep you away to the sun-kissed vineyards of Mendoza. Cheers to a wine that's as grand as the landscape from which it hails!
