This wine represents a fusion of tradition and technology in its making. Aging is done in French oak barrels and vinification is carried out using innovative methods that ensure the quality of this exceptional Cabernet.
The Catena Zapata Birth of Cabernet 2021 is a wine that stands out for its meticulous vinification, done in concrete eggs and small stainless steel tanks, as well as in French roll fermentors. Alcoholic fermentation lasts between 12 and 18 days, under strict temperature conditions ranging from 26 to 28 °C. During maceration, various techniques such as manual pump-overs, foot treading, and délestage are essential for achieving the correct extraction of color and structure of the wine. This maceration lasts between 18 and 22 days after the primary fermentation. Subsequently, a complete malolactic fermentation is carried out, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 to 24 months. The quality of each barrel, whether first, second, or third use, adds nuances and complexity to this wine, establishing it as a masterpiece of the Argentine vineyard. Perfect for pairing with red meat and intensely flavored dishes.
