Description
The La Posta wines are a project of Laura Catena to explore the different sub-regions of Mendoza. Laura grew up in the world of wine in Mendoza and her father Nicolas was a pioneer of the Argentina wine revolution. In the La Posta range Catena buys from a single grower in different sub-regions, the growers name is then emblazoned on the label.
La Posta translates to “the tavern,” where the farmers meet to discuss their soils, their vines, their quest for superior flavors, and their passions for life. In collaboration with wine pioneer Laura Catena and esteemed winemaker Luis Reginato, the hard work and skill of the people behind the wines are expressed in La Posta. All La Posta wines are certified sustainable through Bodegas de Argentina.
