Deep loamy soils support native grasses that help prevent erosion and provide a habitat for beneficial insects, birds and mountain foxes. At high altitude, Malbec takes on a wonderfully fresh, floral character: dark-fruited, finely structured and alive with mineral energy. A wine to savour now with a little air, or cellar for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense blackberry and dark cherry meet violet, black tea and fragrant spice.

The soil there is a deep, sandy loam that has a layer of limestone toward the end, where the roots reach down and impart that classic chalky texture to the wine. But there's much more here than chalk. The flavors are ripe and succulent and tempered by acidity that comes from the cool Andean breezes at an altitude that rises above 1,300 meters. This is an Andean red, with that type of herbal and floral aromas that are seductive on both the nose and palate, giving a delicious sensation of juiciness. This is a big and ample wine, although it's also very tense at the same time and needs at least five years in the bottle.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatena has become a byword for Argentinean wine brilliance. Founded in 1902 and now run by Dr. Laura Catena, it has helped make Malbec Argentina’s signature grape.  Pioneers from the start, Nicolas Cantena’s belief in high altitude viniculture has given birth to an entirely new style of Malbec wines, ones that are as refined as a Classed Growth Bordeaux , but which retain that Latin flair that makes Argentinean Malbec so popular. Their estate is made up of six vineyards in the Luján de Cuyo, Tupungato and San Carlos sub-regions of Mendoza, at altitudes ranging from 3,000 to an ear-popping 4,750 feet (920 to 1450 meters) above sea level. Quality is all that matters here, and from their entry-level wines such as the Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec 2019 to the rare Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino, their obsession with excellence shines through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enotria \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62455072915843,"sku":"ENC18919","price":94.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/CatenaAdriannaVineyardFortunaTerraeMalbec.png?v=1787670427","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/catena-adrianna-vineyard-fortuna-terrae-malbec-2019","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
