La Catedra

Mendoza Malbec and Cabernet from Argentina's high-altitude heartland.

La Catedra produces wines from Mendoza, Argentina's premier wine region. The winery focuses on two classical varietals: Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Mendoza's high-altitude terroir—with its intense sunlight, diurnal temperature swings, and mineral-rich soils—shapes wines of depth and structure. Malbec thrives here, developing the dark fruit intensity and velvety tannin texture the variety is prized for. Cabernet Sauvignon, too, finds expression in these conditions, building the framework and aging potential the grape demands. La Catedra's Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon have both received assessment from Wine Spectator, reflecting the quality benchmarks the winery maintains across its core range.
