A generous Mendoza Cabernet for steak dinners and slow, unhurried evenings
Catena Siesta Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, dry red with a plush dark-fruit feel: think ripe blackcurrant, plum and blackberry, rounded by a smooth, gently grippy texture. A thread of cedar, vanilla and spice adds warmth without stealing the focus from the fruit, and the finish stays fresh and satisfying.
Open it when dinner calls for something with real presence — a steak night, roast lamb or a slow-cooked beef dish — or pour it for a relaxed evening with friends. Its generous shape and lively lift help it feel at home at the table rather than too heavy for another glass.
Made from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in high-altitude Mendoza vineyards in the Andes, this is a polished Argentine red that brings ripe flavour and freshness together.
Why you’ll love it
- A generous, dark-fruit flavour profile of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry.
- Full-bodied and dry, with a smooth texture and a fresh, long finish.
- Gentle cedar, vanilla and spice notes give the fruit a warming, savoury edge.
- An easy choice for steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked dishes and mature cheese.
- A Mendoza Cabernet with a meaningful Catena family connection and high-altitude Andean setting.
The story behind the wine
Catena Siesta comes from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes. Here, bright Andean sunshine and cool mountain nights help grapes build flavour while keeping the freshness that gives this rich Cabernet its lift.
The Catena name has a long Mendoza wine story behind it. Bodega Catena Zapata’s family history traces it to 1902, when Italian immigrant Nicola Catena planted his first vineyard in Mendoza; the winery describes more than a century and four generations of family winegrowing. That long connection with Mendoza helps put this bottle’s mountain-grown fruit in context.
Siesta itself was founded by Ernesto Catena, described by its importer as a fourth-generation winemaker. For the drinker, the point of that heritage is not a history lesson: it is a bottle shaped by a family tradition of looking closely at Mendoza’s vineyard sites, with dark fruit, freshness and restrained oak all given room to show.

Catena Siesta Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Mendoza, Argentina, with grapes sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Andes.
This wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
Expect rich blackcurrant, plum and blackberry fruit, layered with gentle cedar, spice and vanilla. It is full-bodied, smooth and balanced, with a long finish.
The wine is carefully oak-aged, adding subtle cedar, vanilla and spice notes that complement its dark-fruit character.
Yes. It is enjoyable now, but its full-bodied structure and balanced acidity mean it can also develop further complexity with careful cellaring.
It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, steak, slow-cooked beef, roast lamb, mature cheeses and earthy vegetable dishes.
