14% ABVArgentina

DV Catena Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec is a red in the DV Catena range from Bodega Catena Zapata, in Mendoza, Argentina. The winery was founded in 1902 by the Italian immigrant Nicola Catena and later passed to his son, Domingo; one of its oldest vineyards is Angélica, in Lunlunta, planted in the 1920s.

It is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, from the La Pirámide vineyard in Agrelo, at 950 meters above sea level, and 50% Malbec, from the Angélica vineyard. It ferments with selected yeasts at up to 29 °C for 12 days, with 29 days of maceration, and spends 16 months in barrels: 90% French oak (30% new) and 10% new American oak. The house suggests red meat and game.
