In the 1950s, Don Domingo Catena began sourcing Malbec from the vineyards of La Consulta. The combination of intense sunlight and cool nights. This wine goes through an extensive cold maceration for some grape lots of 2-5 days at less than 50ºF (10ºC) to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented for around 8-14 days with a total maceration of approximately 3-10 days. Elevage: 11-13 months in 100% French Oak barrel. 15-35% new, second and third use barrels.

For over four generations, the Catena family has grown vines in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza, Argentina. In his pursuit to make wines that stand with the best in the world, Nicolás Catena identified the best lots, and rows, in the Catena family’s estate vineyards.
