D.V. Catena Tinto Historico Red Blend
Wine Description
Don Domingo Vicente Catena, Nicolás Catena Zapata's father, became one of Mendoza's largest vineyard owners and producers.
He was famous in the 1930s for his deep, dark red blend sold in the French-styled bistros of Buenos Aires—the Paris of South America—as the finest wine from the Mendoza region. Like his father before him, D.V. Catena fiercely believed that Argentine Malbec could make the best wines in Argentina.
D.V. Catena Tinto Historico Red Blend is made to honor Don Domingo Catena and his legendary abilities as a Master of the Assemblage.

Wine Production
Catena wines are a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Although we have found that most of the Catena wines are consumed shortly after release, we are pleased to see that they age beautifully for ten to twenty years. Through decades of study and exploration within Mendoza's high altitude mountain terroirs, the Catena family has identified special locations for its Estate vineyards. From the marriage of these historic vineyards emerges a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity.
