Catena Zapata – voted The World’s Most Admired Wine Brand 2025 – was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena. Now led by fourth-generation vintner Dr Laura Catena alongside her father Nicolás, the Catena has been instrumental in redefining Malbec and elevating Argentina to the world’s top wine stage.

At the heart of Catena Zapata is a pioneering focus on high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, particularly in the Uco Valley. Through meticulous clonal selection and the groundbreaking Adrianna Vineyard research project, the family has mapped soils and microclimates to produce wines of remarkable precision, freshness and age-worthiness. Winemaking balances innovation with restraint, allowing site expression to lead.
