DV Catena Cabernet Sauvignon: A Masterpiece of Elegance and Complexity
The DV Catena Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the exceptional terroirs of Mendoza, crafted with precision and tradition. The primary component of this wine comes from Lot 3 of the La Pirámide Vineyard, where vines planted in 1983 yield grapes of remarkable balance and intensity. This lot is known for its flavors of cassis and its outstanding structure. The second component is sourced from Lot 2 of the Domingo Vineyard, situated at a higher altitude with a cooler climate, which imparts aromas of ripe black cherries, a slight mineral touch, and delicate herbal notes of oregano and thyme.
This wine greets the eye with an intense ruby red color and dark violet reflections, exuding elegance and depth. On the nose, it unveils a complex bouquet of cassis, ripe raspberries, black pepper, cloves, cedar, and leather, accompanied by graphite’s mineral freshness. On the palate, it is intense and full-bodied, offering a silky texture, impeccable balance, and a well-defined structure. Its soft tannins and vibrant acidity culminate in a long and persistent finish, making it a wine of remarkable sophistication.
For a Michelin-inspired pairing, this Cabernet Sauvignon elevates dishes such as filet mignon with black truffle butter, braised short ribs with parsnip purée, or roast lamb loin with rosemary jus. For poultry lovers, pair it with smoked duck breast with cherry glaze or pheasant terrine with porcini mushroom sauce. Its depth also complements dry-aged ribeye with peppercorn sauce or wild boar ragù over handmade pappardelle.
Every glass of DV Catena Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the heritage and artistry of Argentine winemaking, offering an unforgettable experience for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike
