Description

DV Catena Adrianna Vineyard Malbec 2023 is a single-vineyard masterpiece from the iconic Adrianna Vineyard, located at high altitude in Gualtallary, Uco Valley. This 100% Malbec precisely expresses the elegance, depth, and distinctive mineral character of one of Argentina’s most renowned terroirs.

"Deep red in color with violet hues, it reveals an intense and complex nose dominated by notes of cassis, raspberry, and fresh violets—hallmarks of the Adrianna Vineyard. Aging in French oak adds subtle nuances of vanilla, tobacco, and liqueur, enriching the aromatic profile. On the palate, it offers a sweet, enveloping entry, with smooth, rounded tannins leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish. A broad, complex, and refined wine, ideal for red meats and game dishes."
