The Story
Catena Paraje Altamira Malbec is a premium Argentine wine made from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the Altamira sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza. This sub-region is known for its high elevation, rocky soils, and cooler climate, which allow for slow and even ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines with great complexity and depth.
Tasting Notes
The Lunlunta shows a deep violet color with purple reflections. The nose offers concentrated aromas of ripe red and dark fruits with traces of vanilla and mocha. The mouthfeel is rich and concentrated, with blueberries and blackberries notes and a touch of leather and cinnamon. The finish presents well integrated supple tannins with a flinty minerality that gives the wine exceptional length.
Food Pairing
The Catena Lunlunta perfectly pairs with smoked meats and cheeses and equally well with braises, roasts or grilled meats and fowl. Perfect for a light dinner or a substantial meal, it is an extremely versatile wine that can be enjoyed with or without food.
