Worlds Best Vineyard
“Catena Zapata in Mendoza was voted number one in the World’s Best Vineyard” – Forbes, 2023
“also winning the best overall South American vineyard” – Harpers, 2003
In 1997, Nicolás Catena Zapata became the very first Argentinian luxury wine to be transported around the world. The cuvée pays homage to the “Original Bordeaux Blend” of the 18th & 19th Centuries when Malbec dominated over Merlot and was in equal standing to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines quickly gained recognition when they outperformed numerous 1st growth Bordeaux and fine wines from across the world in a series of blind tastings. As a result, Nicolás Catena Zapata has generated a worldwide following and has been instrumental in the development of fine wine in Argentina, setting a new standard of quality of wines from South America. This tasting is an unmissable opportunity to experience the wines for yourself, and witness just what it was that garnered their unique reputation for Bordeaux-rivalling excellence.
“Nicolás Catena Zapata is justly credited with putting Argentinean wines on the world map—by the best expedient of focusing entirely on quality. It’s great to know he has started a wine dynasty, too.” – Jancis Robinson MW
