Tasting Note

Tupungato vineyards lens citrus notes with a crisp finish, and a rich, unctuous mouthfeel. Delicate greenish colour with light yellow notes. Fresh white fruits like white peaches and pineapple, citrus and floral flavours like jasmine and magnolia. The mouthfeel is intense, full yet clean, with fresh, crisp acidity.

Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata Catena Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay is a remarkable Argentinian white wine originating from the high-altitude region of Tupungato in the Uco Valley. This elegant and sophisticated wine presents a perfect fusion of fresh fruit flavours including lush peach, apple and pear combined with soft undertones of vanilla and butter from oak-aged maturation. With finely balanced acidity and a vibrant yet creamy finish, this Chardonnay exhibits the intense expression of mountain vineyard terroir. An excellent choice for white wine aficionados seeking a blend of modern aesthetics with the richness of tradition.

About the Winery

Bodega Catena Zapata

Bodega Catena Zapata is an iconic winery, strategically located in the dizzying heights of Mendoza, Argentina. Synonymous with high-quality Argentine wine, this distinguished winery has a rich history that goes back over a century.

Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, who was captivated by the splendour of Mendoza's sun-drenched vineyards, the winery was a dream birthed out of love for land and great wines; Nicola Catena planted his first Malbec vineyard in 1902. Today, this family-run dynasty is spearheaded by Nicola's granddaughter, Dr. Laura Catena, who continues to seamlessly blend traditional and cutting-edge winemaking techniques in the pursuit for quality and excellence.

The Catena Zapata winery is a must-visit for wine aficionados. Set against the striking backdrop of a snow-capped Andes, the winery's Mayan-inspired building is as much of an artwork as the mellow wines it houses. With copper walls reflecting the stunning Argentinian sunset and stone details carrying the weight of its rich history, a visit at the Bodega Catena Zapata is for both the eyes and the soul.

What sets Bodega Catena Zapata apart from other wineries is its relentless quest for perfection and its daring for innovation. Dr. Laura Catena, a Harvard and Stanford graduate, tirelessly explores the potential of high-altitude viticulture, using scientific methods to produce some of the most remarkable and highly regarded Malbecs in the world.

Bodega Catena Zapata is not just a winery; it's a living testament to the power of dreams, the beauty of nature, and the magic that ensues when we dare to push boundaries. A lavish banquet for both the palate and the heart - Bodega Catena Zapata is indeed a world-class winery. So, if you have a taste for bold flavours and rich cultura experiences, make sure to add Bodega Catena Zapata to the top of your “must-visit” list.
