Catena Zapata is a name that resonates deeply in the world of fine wine, synonymous with the pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of quality that has placed Argentinean wines on the global stage. Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena in the heart of Mendoza, Catena Zapata has been at the forefront of Argentinean winemaking innovation, led by the Catena family's unyielding dedication to excellence and exploration.

Onshore Cellars is proud to showcase a curated selection of Catena Zapata's outstanding wines, a tribute to the winery's historic journey and its profound impact on the wine industry. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata, the winery has achieved remarkable feats, including the introduction of European vine clones to Argentina and the pioneering research into high-altitude viticulture. This exploration of terroir and microclimates across the Andes has led to the creation of some of the most extraordinary wines in the world.

The Catena family's approach combines a deep reverence for traditional winemaking practices with innovative techniques, resulting in wines that are a true expression of their origin. The vineyards, situated at elevations that range from 900 to 1,500 meters, benefit from the unique combination of intense sunlight and cool temperatures, producing grapes of exceptional flavor and complexity.

Catena Zapata's portfolio is a testament to the diversity and richness of Mendoza's terroirs, featuring a wide range of wines that embody the essence of Argentinean viticulture. From the iconic Catena Malbec, a benchmark for Argentinean Malbec worldwide, to the pioneering Adrianna Vineyard wines, considered among the finest expressions of terroir in South America, each bottle from Catena Zapata is a celebration of innovation, tradition, and quality.

The commitment to excellence and sustainability at Catena Zapata extends beyond the vineyards and winemaking. The Catena family has been instrumental in advancing viticultural research and education in Argentina, ensuring a legacy that will continue to influence generations to come.

Mendoza is a wine region located in Argentina, known for producing some of the world's finest Malbec wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 16th century when Spanish colonizers first introduced grapevines to the area. Today, Mendoza is home to over 1,500 wineries, making it the largest wine-producing region in Argentina.

The style of production in Mendoza is heavily influenced by the region's unique climate and geography. The area is situated at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, which provide a natural barrier against the Pacific Ocean's cool winds. This results in a dry, sunny climate with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions are ideal for growing grapes with thick skins, which produce rich, full-bodied wines with intense fruit flavors.

The most popular grape variety grown in Mendoza is Malbec, which accounts for over 60% of the region's vineyards. Other red grape varieties grown in the region include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Mendoza also produces some excellent white wines, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Torrontés.

Overall, Mendoza is a must-visit destination for wine lovers looking to explore the world of Argentine wine. The region's unique climate and geography, combined with its rich winemaking history, make it a fascinating and rewarding place to discover new and exciting wines.
