C A T E N A Z A P A TAA plant-by-plant selection from the best lots within Catena Zapata’s vineyards. These special Zapata
vines are marked with a red sash, ensuring the most demanding attention to their care.
A lot-by-lot selection from the best vineyard sites; each lot is farmed and vinified separately in order to showcase its unique expression.
Made from 100% estate-grown fruit from the family’s high-altitude vineyards; these wines capture the differing expressions of each varietal across multiple altitudes, blending them in a signature style.
Argentina’s First Family of Wine In 1902, Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant, planted his first vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina. Owned today by third generation Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, Bodega Catena Zapata is a pioneer of fine wine from Argentina and a leader in Malbec and high-altitude viticulture.
laura Catena Fourth generation managing director, ER physician and author Laura Catena continues the family tradition of excellence, working tirelessly to promote Catena wines as well as the Mendoza wine region as a whole. In 1995, Laura founded The Catena Institute of Wine, the research and development arm of Bodega Catena Zapata, with the vision to make Argentine wines that stand with the best in the world.
alejandro Vigil, Chief Winemaker Alejandro Vigil joined Bodega Catena Zapata in 2002 as head of Research & Development. A graduate in agricultural engineering with a master’s degree in both winemaking and irrigation management, Alejandro’s strong scientific background helped lead to important
developments in both vineyard management and winemaking. Head winemaker since 2007, Alejandro works with Nicolás and Laura to make wines that retainthe style and expressivity of the family’s vineyards and palate.

From the most studied vineyard in the world, each cuvée in the Adrianna collection is hand harvested from specific lots to reflect the distinct and incomparable terroirs that make up this special vineyard.
Developed as an on - premise only alternative, these single-appellation wines offer excellent value from the Catena portfolio, with the increased specificity of Vista Flores, from the Tunuyán district of the Uco Valley.
Small production, mono-varietal, single-appellation wines produced with increased specificity intended to showcase the provenance of the top emerging sub-zones of Mendoza.
