Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata Alamos Malbec is a magnificent Argentinian wine known for its complex, full-bodied flavour with a superb balance between intensity and finesse. This premium Malbec is beautifully expressed, hosting a bouquet of deep blackberry and plum, with a touch of mocha, cinnamon, and vanilla essence. On the palate, it delivers ripe tannins and a soft, velvety texture, ensuring a pleasure-filled tasting experience. Its striking deep ruby hue beguiles while the length on the finish leaves a mesmerising trail. Perfect as a standalone drink or a delightful companion to grilled meats and mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

This delicious red wine has aromas of ripe dark berry fruit, including raspberry and currant flavours, with notes of sweet spice and a touch of leather. The finish is long and persistent with soft, sweet tannins.

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.
