Grand Père only uses the 115 clone and uses material from older vines. The whole bunch component is an assertive 50% here, giving the wine structure and layers of clove and tobacco leaf. Racy, savoury and spicy, it has fine tannins, bright acidity and the faintest hint of oak sweetness.

For this Gran Père, they used grapes from the first vineyard that the Catena family planted in the Uco Valley, around 1993, in the Villa Bastías area, at an altitude of about 1,100 meters. It's a selection of two hectares neighboring the Grand Mère, Domaine Nico's other cru, and in this case—according to winemaker Roy Urvieta—the sunniest area tends to produce darker fruits and greater volume. This offers black fruits, but also a very good acidity that provides freshness, which gives vitality. The tannins are firm and sharp, and the fruity flavors continue to refresh until the end.
