About the winemaker

“After working together for nearly fifteen years at Bodega Catena Zapata, we felt it was time to venture out on our own. Our goal is to make wines, mainly Malbec, that reflect the heart and soul of the Mendoza wine region. Attention to terroir is our top priority: we have vineyards at various altitudes and with different soils. We take pride in our Limestone Block: the slate subsoil and the high altitude of the vineyard give the wine its unique, elegant, and powerful character."

9/10 punten - Harold Hamersma - De Grote Hamersma 2019

"De twee eigenaren hebben leren wijn maken bij Catena, en da’s niet bepaald de minste in Argentinië. Oprichter Nicolás Catena wordt beschouwd als de man aan wie de hedendaagse Argentijnse wijnindustrie haar reputatie dankt. Jeff Mausbach en Alejandro Sejanovich hebben daar goed opgelet. Goede cool-climate- malbec. Niet te nadrukkelijk op de borst timmerend. Geen Bokito-gedrag. Subtiel en toch stevig. Fris, donker fruit. Zwarte bessen, Andeskruiden-parfum, de koelte ingewaaid." (2017 vintage)

Mendoza, Uco valley, Argentina

Mendoza is by far the most important wine region in Argentina. The viticulture here is extreme: vineyards are located at altitudes ranging from 650 to 3000 meters, the climate is very dry, and the soil is poor. The high altitude of the vineyards results in significant temperature drops at night, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly, which is beneficial for the wine's flavor. In addition to the Argentine pride, malbec, originally a French grape, this wine also includes 10-12% cabernet franc for added complexity. The wine is aged for 9 months in French oak barrels.
