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...

Tasting notes
A full-bodied and well-structured wine, filled with vibrant aromas of black cherries, dark fruits, dark chocolate and baker’s spice. On the palate, the wine shows dense, dark berry and plum flavors along with hints of sandalwood and spice, and even a hint of violets in the finish.

2024 (Vintage 2023)Bold, rich, ripe and intense, especially for a wine with 13.5% alcohol, this is a 10% new oakaged Malbec from Paraje Altamira, mixing grapes from three different soil types. Textured, firm and focused, it marries appealing fig and dark berry fruit with some underlying chalky freshness.
