To ‘learn by doing’ is a great way to be taught. Taste a set of five blending components against the final blend of Catena Alta Malbec 2003. Intriguingly, the five components (or lots) are all distinctive wines that stand on their own, with their own inherent balance and integrity. The final blend show that the sum is greater than its parts. We have also thrown in a Catena Alta Malbec 2004 to compare.
