Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family Estate vineyards. The blend of these historic rows, like the marriage of sounds that create a symphony, yields a highly aromatic and elegant wine that speaks for the earth and the vines that have been tended by the Catenas for four generations. The Catena Alta wines can usually be drunk starting at three years after harvest and into the following one to two decades.
"Pie crust, smoked pineapple, lemon curd and zesty citrus on the palate. Medium-bodied, showing fresh, creamy fruit and a lengthy finish." James Suckling, 94 Points
"The base of this Catena Alta Chardonnay is in the Adrianna Vineyard, located on the heights of Gualtallary, about 1,450 meters above sea level on soils rich in sand and limestone. The blend also includes fruit from the Domingo Vineyard, further down the slopes of the Andes, at about 1,220 meters. Both are in the Uco Valley and offer here a succulent and very fruity interpretation of the variety—the flavors of ripe fruits fill the palate, and the saline sensation that's typical of the area's wines adds complexity and character. A generous-bodied wine for baked fatty fish." Patricio Tapia, Descorchados 93 Points
