Winemaker Notes

In Burgundy, the Vins de Village are wines from grapes grown in the territory of certain villages that give their name to the appellation, such as Volnay, Pommard, Meursault, or Vosne-Romanée. The Village vineyards are small and often owned by siblings and cousins within the same family. This is due to the Napoleonic Code, which establishes that at a person's death, their land is divided equally among their heirs.

As a Latin country, Argentina shares the Napoleonic Code, and over half of the vineyards in Mendoza are less than four hectares in size and owned by multiple family members. Each village has its own culture with favorite foods, winemaking traditions, and distinctive flavors. Catena’s Appellation wines express the diversity of terroir and the historic farming customs of these local families. 

A deep violet color with aromas of dried plums, cherry, vanilla, and mocha. On the palate, it's rich and concentrated with notes of blueberries, blackberries, leather, and cinnamon. The 2022 Catena Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is a bold, intense, and versatile wine from Argentina that pairs well with a variety of foods

Critical Acclaim

92pts Vinous

“The 2022 Malbec Appellation Lunlunta comes from old vines planted in Lunlunta, Maipu. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels (with approximately one-third of them being new), this purple wine reveals aromas of dried plums and cherry, with a subtly spicy layer. Rich, ample and plush on the palate, it lingers with a creamy, ripe fruit flow. This is a bold and intense Malbec driven by its terroir.”
