@CatenaScience @LauraCatena @alevigilmalbec @CatenaMalbec @royurvieta 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

Sensory analysis is part of our daily work. Here, the panel evaluates samples for a parcelization project led by our Viticulture Specialist, Guillermina Van Houten. —Oriana Zamora, winemaker. @LauraCatena @alevigilmalbec @CatenaMalbec

We celebrated 30 years of research alongside collaborators from academia and the technical team. Tasting through vineyard parcels, massale selections and old vines, water management trials, and old vintages to share the best of our research. @LauraCatena @alevigilmalbec

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.
