About this wine
Nicola Catena, Nicolas Catena Zapata’s grandfather, sailed from Italy to Argentina in 1898, leaving behind his famine-stricken European homeland for a land of plenty and opportunity.
In 1902, he planted his first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza. Although Malbec had been a blending grape in Bordeaux, Nicola suspected it would find its hidden splendour in the Argentine Andes. It was a hunch that would not fully flower till nearly a century later.
Nowadays, it’s impossible to talk about Argentinean wine for more than a few minutes without someone mentioning either Nicolas Catena or one of his wines. No-one has done more to put Mendoza on the map, or to raise the profile of Malbec from Bordeaux reject to one of the world’s most fashionable grape varieties.
Tasting note
A remarkable white wine, with flavours of pear, apricot and lemon.
A deliciously rich, fruit-driven wine made with grapes from prime low-yielding vines, aged in 100% French oak barrels.
Food pairing suggestions
Delicately flavoured pork dishes, herbed chicken, or baked fish with lemon and brown butter sauce.
