Bodega Catena Zapata


"Nicolás Catena Zapata is justly credited with putting Argentinean wines on the world map—by the best expedient of focusing entirely on quality. It`s great to know he has started a wine dynasty, too."
Jancis Robinson

The Catena story begins with the luck of finding high altitude vineyards that turned out to have real terroir and not just dirt on a hill. From that luck and an enormous amount of hard work, Cistercian monk-like research and constant striving for quality comes a large range of wines. These vary from the everyday quaffer to wines that achieve the pinnacles of quality and stand comparison with the best the world can offer.

Not content with running a successful wine company in one of the world`s most politically and economically challenging countries, they`ve set up a research institute, collaborating with prestigious academic partners to look into topics like the effects of sunlight on grape skin thickening and other aspects of southern hemisphere, high country winegrowing.
