Tasting Note

Don Domingo Vicente Catena, Nicolas Catena Zapata's father, was famous in the 1930's for his deep dark red wine blend. This blend was sold in the French-styled bistros of Buenos Aires - the Paris of South America - as the finest wine from the Mendoza region. This glorious blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot, harvested from four disctinct vineyards in different passes for optimum ripeness, has oodles of character: jam-packed with blackberry and black cherry, with notes of violet and white pepper.

Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata D.V. Catena Tinto Histórico is an Argentine red wine inspired by the historic blends of Mendoza. Made principally from Malbec, with other red varieties adding complexity, it offers aromas of ripe dark fruit, plum and blackberry, alongside hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, with supple tannins and a finish. High-altitude vineyards contribute freshness and balance, complementing the wine’s generous fruit character. Enjoy it with grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb or hearty vegetarian dishes. Approachable yet layered, it reflects the Catena family’s commitment to Argentine winemaking and its enduring connection to Mendoza.

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.
