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.

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.

May 2025 (Vintage 2024)The 2024 Pizzella Malbec was the most impressive of the La Posta range, introducing itself with a buoyant, spice-driven nose accented with floral tones against a core of balanced fruit aromas. The palate is elegant and nuanced, concluding with a solid, sturdy finish propelled by mineral-driven focus. It aged in 50% stainless steel and 10% new barrique.
