Sensory analysis is not just tasting wines.
It is a scientific tool to answer research questions.
In this case, it helps us understand how vineyard parcels translate into measurable differences in wine.
Something we learned deeply from @DavisVnE @ucdavis

On Malbec World Day, we reflect on a research journey that began in 1995 with the Catena Cuttings.
#Malbec has been a powerful model for measuring #terroir, from regional differences to parcel-level fingerprints across vintages.

Great explanation of #malbecargentino massale selections! @alevigilmalbec @CatenaMalbec @WineFolly #malbecworldday

Clones make wine predictable, but Massale selection makes it sing. Let’s step into the vineyard together.
Most modern vineyards rely on clones (identical copies); massale selection uses cuttings from multiple neighboring vines. Each vine carries subtle genetic differences, producing wines with layered complexity and character unique to its vineyard. Mutations and natural selection allow vines to respond to their specific terroir, creating a dynamic ecosystem rather than a formulaic field. Massale selection shows that terroir isn’t just geology or weather — it’s the diversity and vitality of the plants themselves.

90% of the Argentinian vineyards are massale selections. Our #CatenaCuttings being an example of a diverse selection of Malbec.
Today we're commited to preserving our massale prefiloxera Malbecs for the next 200 years.
