Rolov... the Catena Alta is an export market label, so its best bought in the USA rather than in Argentina, where it is a rarity and will be more expensive than anything you would pay in the States.

The domestic market equivalent is Angelica Zapata. Thats what you should be on the lookout for.

For the equivalent of the Nicolas Catena Zapata blend.... in Buenos Aires you should seek out the Catena Zapata Estiba Reservada.

If you need further guidance, please feel free to PM me.

Cheers,
