Catena Cabernet Sauvignon

Strength, structure, and a soul shaped by the Andes.
At the foot of Argentina’s majestic Andes mountains, where cold nights meet radiant days, Cabernet Sauvignon thrives under Catena’s careful touch. This is not the heavy, oak-driven style often associated with the grape — it’s something altogether more elegant, more vibrant, and distinctly high-altitude.

Crafted from vineyards scattered across the Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo, and Maipú, the wine reflects the diversity of Mendoza’s finest terroirs. Each site brings something unique: one lends depth, another freshness, and another a mineral core drawn from ancient alluvial soils. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that balances boldness with refinement, precision with warmth — the hallmark of Bodega Catena Zapata’s timeless craft.

In the glass, it shimmers a deep crimson, catching the light like polished garnet. The aromas unfold with blackcurrant, cassis, mint, and subtle hints of cedar and graphite. On the palate, rich dark fruit and firm but velvety tannins carry through to a long, graceful finish, laced with spice and freshness. It’s a wine that speaks of the mountains — powerful yet poised, grounded yet full of lift.

For those in Ireland, Catena Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect red for cooler evenings or Sunday roasts — a wine that feels both comforting and sophisticated, blending Old World finesse with New World spirit.

Why we love it:
A classic reborn in the Andes. Catena’s Cabernet Sauvignon shows just how expressive this noble grape can be when grown at altitude. It’s layered, aromatic, and balanced — ideal for those who love structured reds with a refined, modern edge.
