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 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":58256986603907,"sku":"ENC18023","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/CatenaAppellationLaConsultaMalbec.png?v=1728483101","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/catena-appellation-la-consulta-malbec","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
