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. There, they meet to drink wine, laugh, and tell stories, agreeing to agree or disagree...

Ian D'Agata, September 2017 (Vintage 2016)

Bright red. Fresh clean and very perfumed violet, licorice and blueberry aromas and flavors, complicated by a hint of strawberry jam. A lovely wine showcasing great acid-fruit-tannin balance and lots of juicy, sweet fruit flavors and texture. Very well done, and only 13% alcohol.
