Nicolás Catena Zapata Blend

Nicolás Catena Zapata is the iconic wine of Bodega Catena Zapata, created in honor of Nicolás Catena. It is a high-end blend that represents the winery's vision: combining Bordeaux tradition with the identity of Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards.

WINE PROFILE

It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, with small proportions of other varieties that may vary depending on the vintage. It comes from selected vineyards in Agrelo (Luján de Cuyo) and Uco Valley, which gives it a balance between structure and freshness. It is a full-bodied wine, with great concentration, firm tannins, and prolonged aging in French oak that provides complexity and depth. It is designed to evolve in the bottle and express multiple layers over time.

AGING POTENTIAL

It can evolve favorably for 20 years or more, depending on the vintage and storage conditions.

SUGGESTED PAIRING

It pairs very well with grilled red meats, lamb, game dishes, intense stews, and also with more elaborate preparations where the wine can complement the depth of the dish.
