The winerys history goes back to 1902, when Nicola Catena first planted vines; two generations later, his grandson Nicols Zapata pioneered Argentinean fine wine, allying Old World sensibilities to Mendozas unique climate and, of course, the Malbec grape. This is a classic: silky, rich flavours of blackcurrant, chocolate and vanilla combine with pepper and spice from its 16 months in oak.
