The wine
Since 1994, Catena Alta wines have been the premium range from Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura - limited production wines, with even greater care taken and a second rigorous selection in the winery.

These wines have been aged for 18 months in new (60%) and semi-new French oak barrels.
