The excellent and floral 2019 Catena Malbec shows the typicity of the grape, violets and red berries, and the freshness of the year. It has the textbook aromas and a soft and velvety mouthfeel, with very fine grainy tannins.

The 2019 Pruno has some unusual aromas reminiscent of pine needles, balsamic and faintly herbal with moderate alcohol (they harvested early in this warm year) and with very good balance and harmony. The aromas and flavors are pure and defined, and it's tasty, easy to drink and has very fine tannins. Among the first Pruno of recent times. 617,338 bottles, 13,059 magnums abd 100 double magnums produced. It was bottled in October 2020.

Named after the vast meander taken by the Douro river around the estate, this wine is structured with polished signs of wood aging. The second wine from the property, it shows plenty of ripe black fruits and good concentration.

 This 42 hectare vineyard run by the Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Remi has been certified organic since 2005, and biodynamic since 2010. They have divided their Melon de Bourgogne into parcels to highlight the nuances and subtlety of their individual terriors, and their focus is on producing pure, fresh, Muscadet. Mineral-driven, with a pure core of lemon, river stone, and green apple cloaked by a fine layer of lees and brightened with white grapefruit peel. This meets halfway between tense and friendly, yielding a wine both geeks and novices will be charmed by. Take this slight white liberally now, with oysters as intended.

Bring on the oysters! This is so fresh and bright with plenty of apple, pear and citrus to balance the crisp acidity and the minerality that adds so much interest to the finish.
