The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, Bodega Catena Zapata is widely credited with putting Argentine Malbec on the world map. Under the visionary leadership of Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, the family winery pioneered high-altitude viticulture in Mendoza's Uco Valley.

How it is made

Crafted from historic vines at the high-altitude Nicasia and Angelica vineyards, this wine is a masterclass in precision viticulture. The Catena family employs meticulous berry selection and micro-fermentation in French oak barrels to achieve unmatched complexity.
