Blending different varietals, different lots and even different
vintages is an art as old as winemaking itself. In Bordeaux, the
blending of the famous five - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet
Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec - is a centuries old art. Each component
is thought to add a level of complexity to the wine.
Over the
past 20 years, Nicolás and Laura Catena and their vineyard management
team have worked tirelessly in the discovery, identification and
development of key microclimates in the high altitude wine country of
Mendoza, Argentina. Nicolás Catena has planted an almost countless
number of varietals and clones throughout his mountain vineyard sites.
This
quest for quality lead Nicolás and Laura Catena to a crucial discovery
regarding the influence of altitude on grape cultivation in Mendoza.
Observing the important differences in soil types, average temperatures
and thermal amplitudes that exist at varying altitudes, he found that
vineyard sites which are just a few kilometers apart can have vast
differences in altitude and possess remarkably different microclimates.
Over
the years, the in depth study of these different microclimates led
Nicolás to determine that the same varietal, and even the same clone,
presented distinct aromatic and flavor profiles when cultivated in each
of these unique microclimates. Implementing the age old art of
assemblage, he found that by blending these different lots of the same
varietal, he could achieve a more complex wine.
