Nicolás Catena Zapata: Mendoza's Landmark Blend

This iconic wine is the culmination of generations of winemaking expertise at Bodega Catena Zapata, representing the pinnacle of Argentine viticulture. The Nicolás Catena Zapata is a masterful Bordeaux-style blend, crafted to rival the world's most prestigious wines using fruit grown in the extreme high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, notably the Uco Valley.

The blend-primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec-is a tribute to the winery's founder, Nicolás Catena Zapata, embodying a perfect synergy between the intense Andean sun and the cool, mineral-rich mountain air. It is a wine built for the cellar and a true expression of Argentine excellence.

Tasting Notes & Sommelier View

• Appearance: A concentrated, deep garnet hue.
• Aroma: Rich and complex, with layers of ripe black fruit (cassis, dark cherry), sweet tobacco, cedar, and dark chocolate. A refreshing mineral lift adds dimension.
• Taste: Powerful and concentrated, yet exceptionally polished. The mouthfeel is luxurious, driven by fine-grained tannins that provide superb structure and a seemingly endless, elegant finish. A classic example of high-altitude blending at its best.

Food Pairing & Decanting

We recommend decanting this wine for 120 minutes before serving. It is the perfect accompaniment to a formal dining experience.
