Family vintners for over 100 years, the Catenas are recognized for their pioneering role in high-altitude viticulture in Argentina.

This Cabernet Franc is sourced from the family´s historic vineyards in San Carlos. Here, the sandy-loam soils and mountainous climate yield a wine with concentrated ripe red berries, a touch of eucalyptus and black pepper, robust tannins and smooth lengthy finish.
