Why do we love it?

Catena Alta Malbec 2022 is the epitome of Argentine Malbec from high-altitude vineyards and proudly embodies the entire philosophy of the Catena family. An opaque color, impeccable fruit concentration, vibrant acidity, and intoxicating aromas of violet, lavender, and pepper will win you over from the very first sip—just as they did with James Suckling, who awarded it 93 points.

The winery’s history begins in 1902, when Nicola Catena planted his first vineyards in Mendoza. His grandson, Nicolás Catena, is widely regarded as the man who redefined Argentine wine by investing in high-altitude vineyards at the foothills of the Andes, firmly believing they could produce world‑class wines. History has proven him right.

Catena Alta Malbec 2022 comes from carefully selected plots of the Angélica, La Pirámide, Nicasia, Angélica Sur, and Adrianna vineyards, at elevations ranging from 920 to 1,450 meters. It masterfully combines the generosity and fruit purity of Luján de Cuyo with the freshness and intensity of the Valle de Uco. The wine ferments and matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, and the result is nothing short of breathtaking.

PAIR IT

Pair it with soy-glazed spareribs with five spices, beef hanger steak with chimichurri, or a wagyu burger topped with caramelized onions and cheddar.

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
