3. While being President of one of Arg largest wineries, Ernesto felt the need of a Paradigm Shift (a change of basic assumptions) and decided to start producing small volume of wines under 3 new premises: Focus in growing high quality grapes in the most natural way possible. Search for a different style in the wines, that would reflect his personality. Create very strong branding concepts, that consumers would feel indentified with. Most of the grape comes from Finca La Intensidad, Ernesto Catenas vineyard, located in Vistaflores. Ernesto Catena Vineyards (ECV) - The birth of a Renaissance enterprise -

4. FINCA LA INTENSIDAD the prettiest biodynamic vineyard in South America. Located in the heart of Vistaflores (1090msnm) Only half of the property planted, to preserve a balance with the ecosystem. Planted with: Malbec, Cab Sauv, Syrah, Cab Franc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
