Red Wine

Made from a blend of grapes from two high altitude vineyards, harvested at different times - where the intense sunlight & well drained rocky soils produce silky smooth wines with intense flavours.

Argentina's Original Malbec Icon, an homage to the expert 2nd generation family winemaker Domingo Vicente Catena.

Four generations of the Catena family have farmed the vineyards of Mendoza ever since Nicola Catena planted his first Malbec in 1902. More than 120 years of passionate winemaking behind every bottle - the oldest family winery still in family hands who created Argentina's first Grand Vin.
