2020 Tikal Jubilo Mendoza

Tikal is the creative vision of Ernesto Catena, a fourth-generation Argentine winemaker whose father, Nicolás Catena, helped lead the country's modern wine revolution.

Trained in economics and design and as comfortable with art and horses as he is with vines, Ernesto founded Tikal to treat winemaking as an art form — from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards through to the striking labels he designs himself. The range carries names that read like a celebration of life: Corazón, Amorío, Patriota and, at the top, Júbilo — Spanish for "rejoice." It's the wine in which Ernesto pours his fullest expression of joy.

Júbilo is sourced from a single certified-organic vineyard in Gualtallary, one of the highest and most coveted sites in the Uco Valley, where extreme altitude and stony soils yield wines of energy and precision.

A Bordeaux-inspired blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon aged sixteen months in oak, it's deep, layered and built to last — concentrated dark fruit framed by minerality, fine tannins and a long, savory finish.

Powerful yet refined, it rewards the table now and the cellar for years to come.
