Profile & Story

Catena Zapata has sourced Malbec from the La Consulta district of Mendoza's Uco Valley since the 1950s, when Don Domingo Catena first prized the area for its deep color and rich, velvety tannins. This appellation-designated bottling comes from vines planted on alluvial soil at roughly 1,095 meters, cold-macerated and aged partly in new French oak for added depth.
