Winemaker Notes
Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Chardonnay is a refined, mineral-driven wine that reflects its high-altitude Gualtallary terroir. It opens with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and subtle stone notes, layered with hints of flint and delicate oak. On the palate, it is precise and elegant, showing flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and pear, supported by vibrant acidity and a chalky, saline backbone. The texture is slightly oily yet balanced, giving depth without heaviness. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-laced, highlighting both freshness and complexity, making this vintage a superb example of Mendoza’s world-class Chardonnay.
About Winery
Bodega Catena Zapata, founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena in Mendoza, Argentina, is one of the country’s most influential wineries. Initially rooted in traditional Italian winemaking, the estate was transformed under Nicolás Catena Zapata, who introduced modern techniques and championed Malbec at high altitudes in the Andean foothills. His pioneering work in the 1980s and 1990s—exploring extreme terroirs like the Adrianna Vineyard at nearly 5,000 feet—helped elevate Argentine wine to global recognition. Today, the winery remains family-run, with Nicolás’s daughter Laura Catena continuing the legacy, and it is celebrated for its role in resurrecting Malbec and establishing Argentina as a world-class wine region.
