About this winery
When Laura Catena decided to create a line of wines of her very own, she made a conscious decision to pay tribute to the traditional, small, family, growers and to a group of special vineyard sites in Mendoza, Argentina. The name La Posta refers to La Posta del Viñotero – ‘the Tavern of the Grape Grower’, found in every local village where farmers go to get their mail after a hard day in the vineyards. There, they meet to drink wine, laugh, and tell stories, agreeing to agree or disagree...

2025 (Vintage 2023)Ugarteche, which borders the Uco Valley, and at almost 1,000 meters above sea level, is not widely known. It is the source of very juicy malbecs, such as this example, which comes from 45-year-old vineyards on soils rich in clay. It has notes of violets and sweet red fruits; the palate is pleasing and juicy, with fine, sharp tannins that bring thoughts of oven-baked beef empanadas.
