Product description
Description
A high-altitude gem:DV Catena L'Esploratore La Rioja Malbec 2022 is a bold expression of Argentina’s northern terroirs, crafted at 1,850 meters above sea level from the Los Quiroga vineyard in Angulos, La Rioja. This 100% Malbec, grown in poor, sandy, deep soils, showcases a distinctive profile that highlights the uniqueness of this remote high-elevation site—one of the most singular expressions in the Catena Zapata portfolio.
"On the nose, it opens with a vibrant mix of red fruits like cherries and strawberries, laced with mineral notes of wet stone, dry spices, and a delicate herbal undertone. The palate is firm, silky, and elegant, driven by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with ripe fruit impressions and subtle smoky hints."
