The 2021 Tinto Histórico DV Catena is a blend of 75% Malbec, 18% Bonarda and 7% Petit Verdot from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley and was aged for eight months in new and used barrels. It's garnet red in the glass. The ripe, liqueur-like nose o!ers sour cherry and plum notes leavened by fresh herbal notes over a pleasant secondary layer from the aging process. Quite smooth with good volume, the flow is juicy yet a little compressed in the mouth.

The 2021 DV Catena Tinto Histórico was produced with a blend of 75% Malbec, 18% Bonarda and 7% Petit Verdot matured in oak barrels for eight to 14 months, depending on the lot, as the grapes were vinified and aged separately. It has a medium-bodied palate and enough spice and tastiness to keep the juicy, fruit-driven profile. It finishes long, clean and tasty in a classical style. 138,000 bottles were filled in June 2022.
