With a history dating back to 1902, Bodega Catena Zapata has mastered the art of producing world-class Malbecs that delight wine enthusiasts and critics alike.
The Catena Alta Malbec exhibits a deep, rich violet hue, with captivating aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and hints of mocha and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a complex and full-bodied profile, displaying luscious dark fruit flavors and velvety tannins. Notes of black cherry, licorice, and spices lead to a long, elegant finish, making this Malbec a true testament to the terroir of the Mendoza region.
This sophisticated Malbec is the perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

The wine's rich fruitiness also complements earthy flavors, pairing well with mushroom risotto, truffle-infused dishes, or a hearty ratatouille. For a more casual affair, enjoy the Catena Alta Malbec with a selection of aged cheeses and charcuterie, allowing the wine's complexities to shine through.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2014 Catena Alta Cabernet Sauvignon changed the blend slightly and was harvested earlier to preserve freshness. The idea worked nicely, obtaining a balanced and fresh varietal wine, still a little young, and even if the puppy fat is still there, the underlying acidity and freshness is great. 30,000 bottles produced.
