Catalpa Petit Verdot 2023 Atamisque

Deep purple with black undertones. Aromas of ripe fruit with complex spicy notes and a touch of herbs. The palate shows great depth and structure with a ripe, rounded finish. 2024 - 13.5% abv From a single vineyard at an altitude of 1300m, the wine is aged for 12 months, 50% in French oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks. Ideal with strong cheeses, beef, pork and pasta with cream-based sauces. 'Catalpa' is a native American tree that grows 10-12 metres high and has beautiful aromatic white flowers. In addition to enhancing the landscape, the Catalpa tree also produces a pod-shaped fruit about 50cm in length. BODEGA ATAMISQUE Located in the district of San Jose in Tupungato, Uco Valley, this stunning yet simple winery is the first you will see on the famous 'Ruta del Vino', Route 86. The humble slate roofs and drably coloured walls host an extremely impressive modern facility, where winemaker Philippe Caraguel quietly plies his trade, bringing a touch of French restraint to the fruits of these 100% estate-owned vineyards, many of which boast some particularly old vines. Atamisque makes great Malbec, of course, but it is perhaps with 'other' varietals and blends that you will find the finest examples of Uco expression. There are three, easy to climb tiers in the range - Serbal, Catalpa and Atamisque itself - all named after indigenous trees and shrubs that can be found growing amongst the vines. Contains Sulphites
