Half bottle 375ml of Catena Malbec

Catena Malbec 375ml Half Bottle

€10.99

For years, this has been THE benchmark Malbec and the groundbreaking trailblazing wine that changed so many perceptions about both the Malbec grape variety and Argentina. Added to this with the cliché that the best things come in small packages - this wee bottle remains one of our favourite wines. A super accompaniment to a midweek steak dinner, just enough, and not too much.

And just like its bigger bottle brethren, this has that lovely jubbly dark berry and cherry fruit with that plum,  lush texture, and balanced by a super structure and a mouth-filling richness. 

Catena has a winemaking history that very few, if any, old world wineries possess, let alone those from the new world.

Catena have achieved international recognition through their pioneering winemaking and vineyard management.

With a special relationship to the study of vines at high altitude, they are able to boast a vast range of single vineyard and single site wines across at least four different grape varieties.

The Catena quest to get the best from their land isn't a trivial or trendy fad to attract attention and critical acclaim; it really comes from a genuine belief and desire to find the latent properties that this set of terroirs can yield through the lens of each grape, Malbec, or otherwise that is planted.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
