ParkerDescription
An intense, silky Argentine wine
The estate
A pioneer, Nicola Catena founded Bodega Catena Zapata in 1902 and planted his first Malbec parcels within the exceptional vineyards of Mendoza in Argentina.
This family-owned estate, in constant pursuit of excellence, experienced a new boom when it was taken over in the 1960s by Nicolás Catena Zapata. Wishing to revolutionize the production methods of Argentine wines, Nicolás Catena Zapata drew inspiration from Napa Valley winemaking and unveiled new high-altitude terroirs to showcase the expression of the grape varieties.
Nicknamed “the Grand Cru of South America,” Bodega Catena Zapata is an international benchmark praised by critics for the finesse and elegance of its Argentine wines.
