Description Of History And Philosophy:
Ernesto Catena Selections are an expression of Ernesto Catena’s intense passion for wine, Argentina, art, and life. A Mendoza native, Ernesto personally selects the fruit from vineyards planted in careful circular and labrynth patterns in the prestigious sites of Tupungato, La Consulta, Vista Flores, Altamira, and Tunuyan within the Valle de Uco. He then masterfully crafts these wines of distinct character and typicity at the magnificent facility he shares with his father Nicolás at Catena-Zapata. Tahuan wines highlight Argentina’s premier grape varieties, expressing seamless varietal character, enhanced by the microclimate of Mendoza. Structured and intense, Siesta wines capture the depth and complexity produced by the distinct combination of altitude, climate, and soil that define this exciting region which has been a great inspiration to international winemaking.
