      Vibrancy, balance and mountain-grown character define this celebrated Argentine Malbec from one of South America’s most influential wineries. The Bodega Catena Zapata High Mountain Vines Malbec 2024 is crafted from a blend of estate vineyards situated across Mendoza’s renowned high-altitude regions, including Gualtallary, Lunlunta and El Cepillo. These elevated vineyard sites contribute distinctive layers of fruit, freshness and structure, reflecting decades of research and exploration by the Catena family into Argentina’s mountain terroirs.

      The wine is made from 100% Malbec and undergoes extended maceration followed by maturation in French oak barrels, allowing complexity and texture to develop while preserving varietal purity. The 2024 vintage showcases the hallmark elegance of Catena Malbec, combining generous fruit concentration with remarkable freshness and balance. Aromas of dark berries, violets and subtle spice lead into a richly textured palate framed by refined tannins. The high-altitude origins impart energy and precision, preventing the wine from becoming overly heavy despite its depth of flavour. Approachable upon release yet capable of further development, it remains a benchmark introduction to premium Argentine Malbec. This versatile red pairs beautifully with grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, aged cheeses and hearty cuisine.

      Catena Zapata

      Nicolás Catena Zapata planted the Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary with a single goal in mind: to find the coolest location for growing vines in Mendoza. Originally, viticulturists feared that Bordeaux varieties such as Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon would not ripen in Adrianna. In terms of the Winkler classification, a method developed in California to add degrees and categorise regions according to their climate, the weather at Adrianna is between zone 1 and zone 2 depending on the year, putting it between Burgundy and a very cool part of Bordeaux. Even so, no French woman would dare to plant Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec in Burgundy.

      Yet that is exactly what the Catenas did in the high-altitude soils of Adrianna. Nicolás planted the Adrianna Vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay cuttings from France, and with Malbec taken from Lot 18 of his 75-year-old Angélica vineyard. Over the next few years the wines consistently proved to have more minerality and more acidity than wines from other sites in the Southern Uco Valley at lower altitudes—sites such as Altamira, La Consulta and Eugenio Bustos. The Adrianna Malbecs have more grip and denser tannins.
