This stylish red combines the expertise of Bordeaux’s Lafite Rothschild and Argentina’s world renowned Nicolás Catena. The result: a classic, velvety Malbec with intense black fruit, violet, spice. Barrel-aged, it has the finesse of top claret too.

This Argentine Malbec is an exceptionally rich and impressive wine. It brings together small batches of wine from tiny parcels of premium grapes to create an intricate and complex blend. In doing so it symbolises the union between its co-creators – ‘Decanter Man of the Year’ Nicolás Catena, whose wines are “beacons for quality in Argentina” (Steven Spurrier), and the Rothschilds of Bordeaux, “synonymous with wealth, prestige, history, respect and remarkable wines” (Robert Parker). Hand harvested, high grown, old vine grapes provide the wine’s outstanding fruit quality. Barrel ageing ensures seamless integration of flavours, spicy complexity and fabulously smooth tannins. Decant and serve with a tender rib-eye steak, game or herby casserole.
For the 2016 vintage
