The Catena wines are a blend of single varietal lots from the Catena family’s vineyards. Each vineyard is divided into lots that are harvested separately, and specially prepared to be part of the final blend of each Catena wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Chardonnay.
By blending components from different terroirs and altitudes, they aim to create the most balanced and expressive wine. Catena wines can be consumed shortly after release, but they are able to age beautifully for ten to twenty years.
