Nicolas Catena Zapata
High in the Andean foothills, a new chapter of Argentine fine wine was shaped—yet the name Nicolás Catena Zapata appears early for a reason. Based in Mendoza, Argentina, the family has worked vines since 1902, and later pushed Malbec and Chardonnay toward extreme altitude where cool nights lock in tension and definition.
Sites such as Adrianna Vineyard in the Uco Valley are treated like a mosaic of parcels: hand harvest, strict selection, lots fermented separately, often with native yeasts, then raised with restrained oak so limestone, alluvial stones and wind‑swept aromatics stay in focus.
Backed by the Catena Institute of Wine, viticulture becomes research-led craftsmanship—mapping soils, exposures and microclimates to capture purity, structure and long aging potential. The result is an unmistakable signature of altitude: depth with lift, and terroir written in clean lines.Nicolas Catena Zapata
