Description

A pure and complex Argentinian white wine by Catena Zapata

The estate

In 1902, Nicola Catena founded the Bodega Catena Zapata and planted his first plot of Malbec vines in the exceptional vineyards of Mendoza in Argentina.

This family-owned estate, constantly seeking excellence, experienced a new boom when it was taken over in the 1960s by Nicolás Catena Zapata. Wishing to revolutionise the production methods of Argentinian wines, Nicolás Catena Zapata was inspired by the vinification of Napa Valley wines and revealed new high-altitude terroirs in order to enhance the expression of the grape varieties.

Nicknamed "The Grand Cru of South America", Bodega Catena Zapata is an international reference recognised by critics for the finesse and elegance of its wines.

The vineyard

This 2019 Catena Alta Chardonnay by Bodega Catena Zapata is made with grapes that stem from two vineyards. The Adrianna terroir is unique due to its alluvial and gravelly soil composed of limestone deposits. The neighbouring vineyard (Domingo), which accounts for 20% of the blend, is known for its gravelly soil, composed of alluvium and silt with limestone deposits.

Vinification and ageing

Whole bunch pressing precedes low temperature fermentation with natural yeasts in 500-litre French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation up to 70%. The wine is aged for 14 months in first, second and third-fill French oak barrels.

The blend

This 2019 "Catena Alta" by Bodega Catena Zapata is a 100% Chardonnay.

The tasting

This fine Argentinian white wine seduces with its aromatic purity as well as its beautiful minerality
