The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1902 by Nicola Catena, Catena Zapata is celebrated for pioneering high-altitude winemaking in Argentina. Generations of the family, most notably Nicolás Catena, revolutionized Mendoza's wine scene by identifying the best microclimates for Malbec.

How it is made

Sourced from the historic Lunlunta vineyard located in Maipú, where clay-loam soils and high altitudes shape the grapes. The winery & vineyard team employs meticulous hand-harvesting and traditional French oak aging to preserve its distinctive character.
