Divine Intervention allows you to cast a spell. Counterspell counters the spell you were attempting to cast.
If Divine Intervention did not cast a spell and instead "produced the effect of a spell" (An Artificer's Spell-storing Item does this) then Counterspell would not work.
I was in a session last night and that's how the DM ruled it as well, so thanks for confirming. It was a bummer because I failed the CON save required by the new Counterspell. :-(

With the new Divine Intervention, a Cleric can cast a spell of 5th level or lower. Can this be counteracted with Counterspell?
Yes.
