Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino is a deeply expressive wine that captures the essence of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir. It shows a saturated dark violet color with ruby reflections and opens with aromas of cassis, blueberries, and violets, layered with hints of soil and spice. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with flavors of ripe dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle floral notes balanced by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The texture is both powerful and elegant, leading to a long, persistent finish that highlights its complexity and finesse. This vintage demonstrates remarkable balance and is approachable now, yet structured enough to age gracefully for many years.
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.
