In the 1950´s, Don Domingo Catena began sourcing Malbec from the historic vineyards of Vista Flores. This wine goes through an extensive cold maceration of 2-6 days at less than 50ºF (10ºC) to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented for approximately 8-16 days with a total maceration of around 0-12 days. Elevage: 11-13 months in 100% French Oak barrel. 35% new 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.
